Milanto - Milanto log 25/11/14



After a fantastic start when we were surfing at an incredible 11kn. down some big waves the wind died and we got stuck under the island . We had to work all night  by pointing south and pulling sails up and down. Everyone was getting pretty fed up with all the sails flapping, finally the main was dropped and a tiny patch of genoa was left out until finally we found the wind again around 5 am  and the expected 15/20 kn. of wind reappeared from nowhere!
So off we go again with the sails' goose-winged' travelling at a healthy 8.5 kn. towards St Lucia. Ships mate Carla has been her wonderful energetic self. Unfortunately the rest of the crew are finding the big waves rather hard to get used to so have disappeared. we wish them well and hope by tomorrow that they have found their sea-legs -but it is tough as the waves are rolling us around!  position at 9 utc 26 57 n 15 55 w . Hi to everyone. Vale
