Mad Fish - Breeze is up.



The birthday celebrations yesterday were almost bought to a standstill with a very dodgy cake that ended up being donated to neptune. Not wanting Oli to go without, Emma set to the galley and within half an hour produced a chocolate brownie fresh from the oven with sparklers in. Tasted brilliant!

Today we have quite a bit of breeze. We noticed we have a sail batten that is broken near the mast end. Therefore we are reluctant to disturb it by reefing etc. Consequently we are barreling along under full main and a part rolled genoa in 27 knots of wind. Fun for a bit but not sustainable. We need to gybe later so I think we will drop the main and stick with the genoa for the night.

Worried for our friends on Rafiki who seem to be posting very slow daily runs. I hope all is well with them.

Hoping for a friday finish......
672 miles to go.
