Easy Rider - Log: Day 3



Started beautifully ......not much wind but able to sunbathe on the tramps thinking 'This is the life for me!'
Nice lunch and bit more sunbathing n then a nap.
Nap interrupted by Neil saying rather calmly 'Dave i think you better come up, Max says the steering is not responding!' Smith replied 'And you woke me up to tell me that?'

Steering had indeed stopped functioning and on examination we discovered that the steering cable had broken and was hanging limply. like 2 dead rats. Did this upset the boys??? No way. we heaved to and swung into action with a remarkable amount of enthusiasm.....fashioned a makeshift cable out of rope..secured by anything that looked suitable. Finally cable was completed and hey presto, it worked. I was impressed by the teamwork and the cheerful way all this was conducted.
Little concerned here as they reckon it will last right across the Atlantic and I think I would rest a little easier if we had a spare cable.

Everyone happy- until Neil declared 'My God, we've lost 1.5 hours!'
