At 13:17 yesterday we completed our first 1000 miles!!
At this time we were at 20 degrees 52 minutes north and 30 degrees 8 minutes
west.
Everyone is pleased by the progress we are making! Over the last 24
hours we have made 150 miles.
Because of higher winds forecast overnight
Richard decided to take our spinaker down, it had been up for 5 days, a record
for Celtic Star!
Richard and Petra did a great job taking down the spinaker,
they work really hard and make a great team!
The winds didn't increase by as
much as expected but the sea has become a little more choppy.
Mainly cloudy
night so no more shooting stars, it rained before the end of my 4pm watch and I
actually felt cold!!
I saw my first flying fish of the trip they are
fantastic flyers and are a wonderful sight. I always thought that they flew in
straight lines but they are amazing zig zagging through the air!
Still
apologising for my spelling
