GBR 9492T - Star Dancer position at 1200UTC Sunday
3rd June is 49:05.22N 07:13.55W.
Nearly 140 n miles sailed and about 120 n miles
down the course to towards the Azores.
We have had a good first 24hrs. More
wind than forecast - from the SE and now moving North of West.
We had up to 18 boats in sight at one point last
evening but now there is just one to be seen as the rain keeps falling and
visibility is moderate.
Radar watch is needed - especially last night
when some big ships were close and we only picked up their lights in the
mist less than a mile away.
We are settling into the routine of watch keeping
and ate a good pasta supper last evening.
Everything is damp and wet - but our spirits are
high!
Rob and Robert
