La Rochelle - Halfway



At 1am this morning we reached the halfway mark ,only 430 miles to go ,yippee.
Gliding along under the moon at 7 knots with dolphins for company and louvre driving,doesn't get much better.
All the big boats have 2 headsails , so we decided to have a go. Flying the storm jib as a staysail, balances the boat quiet nicely and. Gives us another .2 knot.
Have been hand steering during the day with full main and poled out no 1 headsail , doing hull speed , not much point flying a kite. Breeze has been 17-25 knots from 60 degrees .
Everyone is settling in to the rhythm nicely and getting plenty of rest.
Cheers La Rochelle
