Lazy Sunday
Sunday Dec 26th. We've been taking it easy and it shows.
Our daily distance run for the last 24 hours has been the lowest since leaving
Mindelo and our average speed is down to 5.5 knots. Everyone on board is fine
with this. True, we could have had the spinnaker up or we could have tried
'wing on wing' with two headsails, but we're not in a hurry and adding
extra speed will make it harder to sleep, cook and eat. Not to mention the
likelihood of more wear and tear on the rigging.
Not much else to report from this lazy Sunday. The fish
didn't bite, we sighted neither ships nor whales. The winds are very
steady from the north east with a two meter swell. The sea water
temperature is 30 degrees celcius which I find surprising for the Atlantic.
Warmer water means we get better results from our desalination unit, in fact I
measured at 100 liters an hour.
