Imagine - Monday 3rd June - all at sea



One night down and only 440 miles to go. So far it's been like a pleasant summer cruise. The main difference is that it's further to swim to shore if things go wrong. One other problem is the lack of shore power. We've got two fridges going, had hot water showers and been using the autopilot all night. We're now motoring but only to charge up the batteries. For much of the morning we had our Parasail up which must look fabulous from other boats but seriously impedes the sun bathing area if the sun is shining from ahead. Mustn't grumble though. We have all this but still manage to sail as fast as those boats dragging lead along underneath, and we do it with a heads we can use while underway and a cooker that doesn't have to swing about on gimbals. Another 30 minutes before my watch sitting on the comfy seat behind a full enclosure with cockpit heating. It's the sailor's life for me. David
