Lily - Day 4



Where is my large, multicoloured foresail? In my wisdom I thought we would not need it or miss it, but we really do. Lily is not on top form in less than 10 knots of wind so we have been bobbing all night in 3-4 knots of speed. So after a morning session with new GRIB files and some math we found that we would be lucky to make the re-start on Wednesday if we don't do something drastic. So we started the engine and headed south where the wind is forecast to be.

Viritually no waves or wind with glorious sunshine we have had a very nice day. Showers on the back of the boat and all crew on good form. Wind did not come all day, so we engine into the night while our diesel tank slowly drains..... (not too worry, we can always drift to Cape Verde!) We celebrated the half way mark with a bottle of Cava and a large panatone cake - yum!

It is distinctly warmer, but still use my fleece at night and Delphinia still shows up in her down jacket!
