Next Step - 6th March 2020

In the morning we were still just about sailing. But unfortunately by 0050, the wind had gone away to nothing so the engine went back on again. In the early hours of the morning we had a fishing vessel and a cargo vessel pass astern. Just after 0700 the wind improved and the engine was turned off. We had a great sailing day with speeds of in excess of 10knots at times. A pod of dolphins appeared briefly but still no whale! In the evening I cooked a turkey, tomato and pasta dish which seemed to go down OK. Before we started the night time watch routine we took in a couple of reefs in the genoa and a reef in the mainsail.
