Panic over - we found another 3 rolls!

Not too much to say today, we have been sailing along on our lonesome for the last 24 hours since our course diverged southwards from a cluster of 3 other yachts ( not in our division) who were close together.
We gybed back to a more westerly heading this morning, so might start to bump into other boats again. Our gybe angle is only about 15 degrees because of poled genoa and boom on a preventer, so not a very dramatic alteration, but a bit of an evolution to achieve with all the guys s and sails etc to be centred and swapped to the other side.
The main good news of the day is the discovery of 3 more toilet rolls in a secret stash, so that’s one less thing on the list of potential snags to mess up a smooth arrival, which looks to be on Saturday.
We change our clocks again today, taking us to 3 hours behind GMT, we will just do the final hour when we actually get to St L.
