1st 24 hrs at sea, fair winds, fast sailing all is well. 230miles in first 24hrs!
We set off at 1100 yesterday from Las Palmas in 25knots of breeze with moderate following sea, quickly settled into a routine of surfing and showers, followed by a fairly tiring night but all caught up on sleep now, almost…
Ace is, as ever, looking after us well, a dry boat, fast and forgiving.
Wind has dropped off considerably now, overcast and a bit rolley, a but Peter has his rod is out in hope of sashimi later!
On the subject of food; breakfast, lunch and dinner have been expertly prepared by William so far, and I am happy to report that all meals have subsequently stayed exactly where they should be…. within the diners.
I have to say that I am mightily impressed how all us rusty sailors have settled into life at sea, are enjoying each others company, and look forward to some great sailing ahead.
Of course although we are very much enjoying the experience, thoughts do often turn to home and knowing you are all sharing this with us in some way, certainly helps.
That's all from me, your guest commentator tomorrow will be Peter.
keep following us!
