True Colours - Wizard Wednesday



Position 22:34.50N 020:34.13W
 
After the slow start to the day, things picked up well.
 
Some light clouds quickly cleared and we had bright sunshine all day. The wind gradually veered and we ended up close hauled doing around 6 – 7 Kn in 10 Kn of breeze.   Watermaker on for six hours, but only served to replace the water we used during the day on showers and other domestics.
 
No fish today – not even a bite, so fish stew will have to wait.  Chef of he day was Andrej;  saksuka (traditional Turkish dish) which followed tortilla wraps mid afternoon.  High standards are being set!!
 
Apart from a yacht on the distant horizon at dawn, we have seen no other boats until 10 minutes ago, when a tanker travelling in the opposite direction made a 5 degree course adjustment to pass us by.
 
Routing still looks difficult;  grib files from MaxSea suggest a big ho;e coming that we cannot avoid, while the MailASail grib files suggest we can keep sailing if we follow the wind around to the West.  The next two days will show which is right!.
 
Now dark – we re putting the clocks back by 1 hour tonight.
