It's hard to believe two weeks at sea, have passed
today, 5- 6 days to go and that's the Atlantic crossed.
We have had light winds for the last two days, so
motored, and gave everyone a restful night. No sails flogging about as the
swells go through.
Have had a whale following us and playing around
the boat for 3 mornings. Seems to stay an hour. Great sight as a
large wave rises behind us, to see a Whale surfing along in
it.
Food and drinks all holding up. Everyone in good
spirits.
Had the generator stop with no diesel. Appears to
have a faulty lift tube in the port tank. So after much technical analysis
from too many Engineers, we switched tanks, bleed the system and away
again. Another thing to repair when we get there.
Lucky to have had such a great mix of crew.
White torso's appearing around the deck as each one
thinks of having a tan for Saint Lucia.
Cheers
Cpt James.
