The Curse Of the Spinaker Halyard has struck again.
Externally rigged halyards have been replaced by internal ones. Jack and Ben
made trips up the mast to set up the new rigging. Jack had time for a leisurely
birdseye photograph while it became apparent that
Ben requires practice in Bosun's G-string control. He hopes this will be next
trip. Paul managed to drop Ben's camera as he passed it down quickly from the
mast head - but all was well. Ben prepared for the trip up the mast with a lie
in with the gear.
Despite this good progress was being made until
light winds on Friday morning. We are encouraged that we are now amongst the
back markers.
Matt the master trollerman landed a second Dorado
which meant fresh fish and cabbage curry, curteousy of Paul &
Ben.
There is a need to conserve power so outgoing
communication will largely be via the blog.
Chris missed out again on spotting dick as Nick
bathed behind the wheel and Andy continues to sleep
through......
