"18th April - North Atlantic Southern
Part"
This is our third day at sea, nothing much has
changed except for very slight variations to the wind speed and direction.
Basically we are still on course and haring along. We managed to maintain
our average speed over 24hrs and once again clocked in at 150nm. At the
time of writing we have completed 335nm and in 100 miles time we will be
halfway!
The stage hand with the bucket is still enjoying
his activity as we continue to get goffered every so often and when least
expected.
We have still not seen any ships apart from Black
Watch, which makes it all the more amazing that our courses
coincided. This afternoon our Sea-Me alarm went off again alerting us of a
ship in the vicinity, but again nothing appeared on the AIS, which was zoomed
out to 32nm and neither did we glimpse anything. So no excitement
there.
All is well with us, we are not exhausted yet,
only physically challenged by the constant irregular movement but we will
survive and will have several weeks to recover in Bermuda before
we set off on the next long leg!
