FRIDAY DECEMBER 5

 

Position at 0010 GMT: 15 deg 47.72 north 50 deg 26.28 west

 

Approx 2,280 miles covered, 625 to go

 

Light winds all day so we’ve been pootling along at 4 knots, half the speed we make some. So there’s been time for sun bathing, bread making, texts to home via the sat phone, reading and relaxing.

 

The weather is hotter by the hour, the sweat rolls off us if we’re down below sleeping or working.

 

Saw another yacht for an hour or two then he peeled away and headed south, probably towards Trinidad.

 

It’s another beautiful moonlit night, very calm and peaceful
