Vagaris - Settling into day 2



Another brisk day sailing. Winds settling down to between 13 to 23 knots. We've been in contact with our Danish friends in Cygnus Pena, but fear we're now out of VHF reach as we have gybed off in different directions. Only 2 or 3 boats left in visual contact. We did the SSB radio net earlier and heard from many more people so we're all nicely spread out across the seas.

We've sailed today on a mixture of white sails and the gennaker. The wind is still from the NE so we've mainly been broad reaching in calming seas.

All systems are working well. I've had to run the generator a couple of times to charge the batteries as not a huge amount of sun so far. Water maker working ok and topping us up, but we're still in low usage mode.

Cauliflower cheese for supper tonight. Very good. Comms working well and getting weather reports fine.
