Joy of Shamrock Quay - Day 3 Great Progress



We have thoroughly enjoyed our downwind sailing over the last couple of days. The last 24 hrs has brought more dolphin, a whale blow holing, winds generally NE 13-18 with max gust at 29 knots over night, top speed 9.5 (surfing the waves!). Toptastic. Fresh bread rolls have been baked, and on the menu for dinner has been roast chook, Thai curry with noodles (made from scratch of course) and last night Graham prepared marinated pork chop with baked pear, rosemary potatoes, courgettes and green beans! Who said galley food should be pre-prepared or from a tin! Bellies are full, muscles beginning to tone from balancing against the rolly swell, and we still have smiles on our faces despite the lack of sleep! Hand steering all the way except for sail changes and logs at night, we are LOVING this experience.......
