Mad Fish - 1 Litre of Diesel



Thoughts onboard today have turned to having a good shower. Emma asked me if it would be a good idea to run the engine to get some hot water. I told her that this was a waste of fuel and maybe there was another way. Oli chipped in by suggesting cold showers. Emma then suggested that we have our dinner cold. Point taken I said.

How long would we have to run the engine to heat the water she asked? About 1/2 hour I replied. And how far can we motor at those revs in 1/2 hour she asked? About 2 miles I replied. No brainer. Warm showers it is then. However, we are currently at 20 degrees angle of heel. This does make it particularly hard to shower so we will check this weather upload with great interest.

Been sailing at good speeds the last 24 hours. Mostly pointing at the target or making just north of it. We are now under full sail in 16 knots of wind just fwd of the beam.
1259 miles to go.

Russell.
