Twice Eleven - Day 8 Spinnaker up



The winds continue to be light and so we decided to be brave and get the Spinnaker up. We tried yesterday but just as we'd set it all up the wind picked up, so back to twin headsails. As we slowly head south the temperature has improved and shorts have been spotted on deck and even sun hats today. The rocky motion continues, but it's not too bad and improves considerably when the wind picks up. Bob is taking a rest from the fishing whilst he plays with the spinnaker, but is keen to catch a tuna during the trip (not sure the rest of the crew is keen to help land such a big fish). The other entertainment during the day, apart from hoisting sails and fishing, is listening to Black Adder or I'm Sorry Haven't a Clue whilst sipping a tonic (with ice and lemon, but unfortunately without gin). Andrew is also trying to educate us with the modern music his son has put on his MP3 player - has anyone heard of a band called Death Cab for Cutie?
