Reberth - Nearly there!!



Hopefully by Saturday night we will be in Mindelo. The winds over the last couple of days have been reasonable and we have not had to put on the engine. Hurrah!! Yesterday Ian had to remove another batten from the main sail to stop it getting caught and hang up the sail!! This morning, whilst doing his morning constitution round the deck, Bob cleared several flying fish, a mackerel  and a squid. He also found a screw from the boom vang!!! This then entailed Ian and Bob tethering themselves to the boom to affect a repair of the vang as all the screws were loose!! It just shows daily inspection is essential.

The picture shows Ian doing the Oceanwatch water collection.

Our communications are now slightly limited as Globalstar has no coverage in this area and we are reliant on the Iridium Phone.
