The wind has come up again, about 30 knots from the SSW. Lumpy seas which don't seem to have affected anyone much at the moment. E and M wanted eggs, bacon and baked beans for lunch, but the conditions prohibited the cooking rather than the eating!
The mainsail continues to be less than ideal. The head board has already chaffed through my repairs of yesterday. ON closer inspection the slide is so badly formed that I can't completely eliminate chafe. The other cringes in the headboard also have sharp edges from the pressing process which haven't been finished properly. The head board itself is punched aluminium plate whioh again has not had the edges smoothed off. Not best pleased with it at the moment.

Adrena has you averaging 7.4kts since last fix so well done. Trust your crew will allow you more sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteExcitement today as a loud "explosion" reported over South Cambs just before lunch. Cause was sonic boom from QRA Typhoon jet "on training mission"...
900nm great circle distance in 7 days but further over ground due to dogleg around Grand Banks. You're doing fine.
