Dear All,
Overnight Monday to Tuesday light winds made progress relatively slow however the wind information is that we still need to go further south. During Tuesday am winds strengthened to 10-12 knots from the NE and the sunshine came out, even more broad grins around. Tuesday afternoon the wind went further east and we managed to go further SW still gybing for the south as conditions allowed.
Tuesday evenings meal skillfully cooked by master chef Ian with assistance from the rest of the watch aka Fabulous four (William, Ian, Tom & Kent) produced a meal at 8pm which was acknowledged as more than satisfactory.
During the night Tuesday Wednesday morning wind strengthened from the NE and Incisor started showing her longs legs ( 10 -12 knots boat speed) Overnight banter included dreaming of our favourite drinks general consensus was cocktails bavaria beer and bucketfuls of Rioja round about 5am there was a debate as to whether we needed to change spinnakers which coincided with Toms tea making while the decision was being taken Tom took the command 'put it in the sink" literally, much to everybodys amusement after we had stopped rolling around laughing the spinnaker stayed up and the tea had gone down th eplug hole. Overnight dolphins swimming Williams has alianated all the young dudes by getting top speed yesterday of 16 knots whilst on the helm. William is now known as the Jammy Git.
The last 2 nights we have been visited by Dolphins on numerous occasions and seeing them highlighted by phosphorescence truly a wonderful sight.
Wednesday morning at 4.am saw a shooting star with an amazing vapour trail.
3 crew watches have been organised by effectively have 3 hours on watch and 6 hours off, this is widely acclaimed as inspirational as it keeps every body "fresh"
All bets are on about what we fantasise about next.
William
