Lexington - Captain Bob: 7*. 13' north. 52*. 23' west 600 miles from Grenada



We are doing well, very pleased with consistent good winds. I have the 03:00 to 06:00 watch. The winds have been 18-24 knots, mostly around 20. The seas are 6-10 feet. With consistent winds you get more seas. It is hard for a non boater to imagine the movement of the boat and the boaters. Yesterday I was fixing my breakfast of two poached eggs and a slice of banana bread. This meant I had to crack two eggs, place them in a microwave dish for cooking the eggs, hold the device from heeling the eggs out, add water and place them in the microwave. This is all done while I am squatting down to brace my knees against the refrigerator box and my butt against the engine compartment counter space. Any thing on the counter can fly across the boat at any time. Yesterday Karen had fixed a whole bowl of salad for lunch which was tossed to the floor with one odd wave that moved the boat awkwardly. I remember reading a girls description on going to the bathroom. She would brace her feet on
the opposite wall to keep her seat on the throne while the boat tossed. It is definitely good for your balance.
May fair winds fill your sails with good balance and no bruises.
Bob
