La Rochelle - la rochelle the med has come to the atlantic



At 8am yesterday we jibed over to 240 degrees to try and avoid the 5 day hole in front of us .the breeze had dropped to 7 knots from the nne, The hole is bigger than first predicted so we will stay on this course until 15 degrees south. Still managing 5 knots vmg with the aid of the " iron maiden" ticking over at 1400 rpm and assi. Very comfortable conditions quiet warm in the sun and with the water temp at 27 degrees we stopped for lunch and practiced our man overboard drill , with a swim in the pool.
Everyone has caught up on sleep , made heaps of water , washed the boat , got a suntan ,and did laundry, just as if we were in the med.
Still can't catch a fish , trolled 2 lures all day for zero reward.
Hopefully today we get some assistance from the wind but it doesn't look good with the windex doing 360's at the top of the mast.
Cheers from a suntanned crew on La Rochelle
