Hot Stuff - day 6



What a day! As soon as we got sunlight, Sirocco Watch launched the spinnaker with the help of Lesley. As Bora Bora Watch took over we spotted a dark looming fin on our stern - shaaaaaaark alarm, all hands on the deck, close the pool area! Dooa doooa doooa doooa doooo (jaws). Everyone grabbed their cameras and Paula prepared her fishing line! Not long after a tiny liitle bird was resting on the fishing line.
Elisabeth our other bosun, repaired the luff of the genoa. We made lots of sail changes to suit the conditions, we had a lot of fun doing this and it was a great effort from everybody.
Tired of too many sail changes we hauled Sophie our skipper up the mast..we told her she had to fix the steaming light. But actually we needed a break from changing sails.
Today we also changed our clocks which means we are heading west now. Some put them forward, some backwards, hehehe
Thea and Oline composed a song to attract the whales. We are still waiting for them.
We have found our rhythm with the watch system, this gives us more opportunity to socialise. Lots of laughs, chatting and stories.
