Day 7, Mood is good, Crew is keen to work, so we have some sail changes during the day. Brought down Sei for the night. Had contact in the night with Vera. These guy’s are sailing well and gave us a good match race for 1.5 days.
Day 8 Still feel the need for speed using the increasing wind. Tried to keep on course to St. Lucia, we are in the trades. Down the wave up to 11Kn. Started in the night with main and Genoa.
Day 9 just after midnight we couldn’t hold our course so we had to bring down the main at night and set Genoa and staysail out with poole. Still surfing down the waves. Being excited to see the Etmal.
