Blue Wonder - Leg 2, day 10



The side swell really got to me overnight. Worse than any other time on this trip. I'm not sure if it's because our speed slowed down, but it shook me about and I did not sleep. The winds had eased to a more reasonable pace, so it should have been the opposite.

The bright moon has been a pleasant companion for this difficult washing machine ride. I was grateful for clearer skies after a few gray nights.

Provisioning has been quite successful overall. We still have some fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumber, sweet potato, potato. Lots of salami, some ham, and plenty of frozen meat for our remaining meals. I even still have another frozen batch of chilli con carne for any evening I'm feeling too lazy to cook. Where we have failed though is on sneaky treats. Both adults are craving chocolate bars during the night when the children aren't watching. However, it's not something I stocked up on, as it's not something we usually eat much of in the first place! So that is my only provisioning regret. Maybe I'll bake some chocolate brownies when I'm not feeling as lazy as I was today.
