Hi Everybody,
In position 28 15n 49 56w cog 66 1076nm
travelled. Current wind SW at 11kts but squally. One minute 11kts the next 35kts
keeping us on our toes. We have seen all kinds of weather over the last 24
hours. At one point we had no wind, thunder, sun and rain all at the same time.
Yesterday we had torrential rain for most of the day and then 35kts of wind and
a lumpy sea all night. Everybody fine just a little weary and the boat feels
damp. Need good sunny day to dry everything out.
Me again. You`ll gather from the above that we had
an exciting night. Fortunately the gale was from the right direction so we were
able to make up a few miles.Trip so far is 1077.nm.another 1400 to go! Superb
chicken curry last night courtesy of Russ.Hope all OK chez nous.
Mike.
a night to remember (oh no that was the titanic)
just got up spent last night sat out in a force 8 gale very rough seas the only
place worse was the bow cabin so stayed on
deck
at about 2 in the morning a huge freak wave as high as the boom decided to
break on the deck in pitch darkness saw my life flash before my
eyes was under water
for a few sounds everyone was woken thought we hit
something on a good note
we had a stowaway on board a little bird he first found shelter on deck from the
wind and rain but found his way in the boat and was perched on the phone and for
a couple of hours kept us amused landing on us and eating crumbs off the galley
floor russ
Hi Pam and all Big crash when the wave landed
but apart from general wetness Mike's pipe was put out!! Quite a hard day
/ night yesterday. Bright sunshine again now. Adam has just caught a
mackerel - lot of work not a lot of fish. Weather predictions are a waste
of time I've concluded. Good to see Azores and us on one plotter page. If
we turned due east we would hit Canary isles. Txt soon Dick
Hey all, hope all is well. Interesting day so
far. Started off well, had a squall come across with 33knots of wind and
the boat only had one reef in the main. I had to go outside and let some
sails out and reef the foresails but it was poring down. Got soaked
through. Suns out now mind and ive just caught a spanish mackerel which is
now gutted and in the fridge ready for starters!
well i better get back to the sun
