We gybed this morning! We are still rolling along at
around 7 knots with headsail only. The seas are a bit calmer but still unsettled
in the force 5 wind.
There is no moon yet but we are being treated to the
brilliance of the sky at night with the early and bright appearance of Jupiter
followed by Venus, Mars and millions of stars. Orion rolled out of bed in the
East early this morning and stood guard protecting us from giant waves
and dangerous sea creatures through the rest of the
night.
The crew are all well and getting used to the rolling
motion and eating much more fruit than normal! We are making good headway and
are only 2350 miles from St Lucia, we are keeping South to avoid the light winds
developing in the North and West and may put the main up tomorrow (we will let
you know in tomorrow's blog!).
