Southern Child - day 6 30/11



Day 6 30/11
Position 1200: 22* 40' 43N 032* 59' 32W
Daily Run: 171Nm
Distance to Waypoint: 1663
 
So, we're sailing along! We got the spinnaker up this morning for the first time, which feels great, and are going about 8 knots in 17 knots of wind. With the constant grinding and trimming of sails we're suddenly 2 crew members shorter, but fret no. Our skipper cooked up real tasty bacon sanddwiches for everyone, together with our cooking hero Marlinspike.
 
Highlight of the day: With the kite already covered, the highlight must be the highly anticipated rock-paper-scissors contest of last night. As we had decided to turn the clocks back an hour we decided to have a social hour of everyone together. Even on a 40ft boat you barely get to see each other! The qualifiers kept everyone glued out on deck and the excitement peaked when Peg-legged Pete met Laahhrrs in a merciless final. To his utter disappointment Laahhhrrrs lost to Pete and will now go into training for the rematches on Monday.
Stay Tuned for more!!
