We made excellent progress overnight and enjoyed plotting
our daily position on our paper map. Charlie
and Jess set to work with home school practising times tables using the number
bean bags and the daily quizzes were completed ready for distribution amongst
other ARC family boats.
As well as receiving our daily weather report from the ARC,
we also received a detailed weather report from Al, a dear friend who provided
us with on board sailing instructor training back in Southampton and Skippered
us from Falmouth to La Rochelle. His
prognosis was that we needed to reach 14 degrees 30 minutes (60 miles further
South) in order to catch the best of the winds for the rest of the trip. Luckily
the wind was on our side for the rest of the day.
Just before sunset, we caught a blue fin tuna (large enough
to feed the whole boat) which added a bit of excitement to the day.
