Surfing Petrel - Wednesday



We only left Gran Canaria three days and already it seems much longer, which means that Surfing Petrel and her crew have settled well into life at sea. When sailing in colder climes and less pleasant conditions, we often dream of endless downwind sailing, surfing down waves, warm sea temperature, sunshine and a night sky full of stars. And right now it is mostly that. There is just the occasional cumulomonster bearing down on us with Surfing Petrel written all over it to remind us that we can't have it all!
There are some pleasant differences when racing on a cruising boat (a complete novelty for some of us). There is a fridge and therefore there are fresh vegetables and some outstanding Camembert amongst other delights. Not all meals are freeze-dried. There is a proper interior. There are plans to have aperitif at sundown (though postponed thus far due to robust conditions).
I could go on...
