Surprise - Day 1 at Sea: Friday 4 May

Both Tony and I had terrific watches last night with good breeze, bright moonlight and good boat speed. I was zoning with Sara Brightman's classics.

Cathy was not so lucky with flukey winds, large swells and threatening lightning. Today is warm with a modest breeze from the NE and we are making 6.5-7.5 kts.

Our first 24 run will be about 130 nm- not bad considering light wind at the start and the nose for about 4 hrs in the very early morning.
