Han here reporting from Mojo. Sleeping for a
few hours at a time through choppy conditions is a new experience but one I seem
to quite enjoy! Sitting up and trying to get dressed on Monday morning
however was done as quickly as possible as I could feel myself going greener by
the second. On dashing up to deck I had a wave of sweat and nausea come
over me but luckily it lasted for only about 5 minutes and as long as I don't
hang out in the galley for too long I'm fine. Conveniently Matt is
excellent in the galley! Poor Adey however, has been hit hard. After
just over 24 hours he's managing to keep some food down again. (please note
I have the correct spelling of Adey!)
The day consisted of a few frustrating hours trying
to catch a wind in the right direction so a lot of tacking and the distance to
destination did not really decrease for many hours. Later on there after
being hit hard by a squall (I was in bed being thrown around keeping half an ear
open for shouts of "Man over board!" but luckily none came!) The rest of
the evening was mainly spent on weather watch as there was little traffic to
look out for 50 miles off the coast of Morocco. I was on the 11pm to
5am shift with Paul until 3am, then Matt. As the evening wore on the
weather improved, the wind moved to our favour so we could switch off the
engine, save some fuel and finally get some miles under our belt while we
watched lightening over the coastline. The skies were clear a bright moon
eventually set revealing spectacular sky of stars and bioluminescence. Very
pleasant indeed! So as we draw level with Casablanca this morning we
have a lovely sunny day, we're trying our hand at fishing and I just spotted a
turtle! |
