Good Evening,
The good winds are continuing and have veered
slightly to the north of east to allow us to steam on ahead on a close reach.
Our average speed has been 6.28 knots since we left, so making great head way!
It has become slightly over cast as we leave the last sight of land behind us
but the winds are staying consistentl around 15 knots, ideal!
Roast chicken with mash, green beans and hot
Nando's sauce for dinner, which was lovely. The bakery has re-opened today with
a fresh farmhouse bloomer, our now signature loaf and a common favourite on
board, maybe another chocolate cake tomorrow!!
We have all been enjoying reading/listening
to books on our phones this afternoon, I have especially been enjoing some
short stories, so to keep my attention as I have a tendancy, on the odd
occassion a book accidentally falls into my hands, to quickly become distracted
and lose interest easily. Tim is well on his journey to centre of the Earth!
A full day in the wind and sun today and we are all
glowing, I especially feeling it, but its all good, that sort of reddy brown is
a positive sign as oposed to the red raw, struggling to sleep, shoulder
feel.
No more luck on the fish front, but not to worry we
wont be going hungry.
Tonight's entertainment will be a round of Rummy
before I take up post for the first night watch shift, hopefully it wont be too
difficult for us all to get back into routine.
A brief update, but as you can tell all is well on
board.
~Sadie~
