Days 8 and 9 continued to give us very light and variable winds with the
sea becoming like a mirror a night. Progress was slow with only 64 miles
done but we didn’t mind as life on board was very comfortable. Yesterday
morning, with the boat virtually stopped, we went for a mid-ocean swim off the
stern. The sea was a remarkable crystal blue and looked as if we could see
all the way down – beautiful:
![]() Last night, all changed; having wished for a bit of wind – we got it.
Of course, the wind is in the wrong direction for us (on the nose) and, at 19-23
kts in a confused sea, we are once again ‘hanging on’ to move around. As
we are also not going in the right direction we have slowed the boat down to not
lose the ground already made. Don’t think there will be much cordon bleu
cooking done for a while.
Oh well – we did want some wind...........but probably a case of ‘be
careful of what you wish for’.
