Skyelark of London - Day 10



Woke up to yet another beautiful morning and one of Richards special bowls
of porridge. It was nice to see another ARC boat overnight with the Swedish
boat Njord passing within 1/2 mile of us. During the course of the morning
the winds freshened and by lunchtime we were sailing in a healthy 15 knot
south easterly. The forecast for tomorrow suggests a further improvement
with yet more wind and we are all looking forward to pushing onward to St
Lucia. We currently have another 1600 miles to go but appear to be making
good progress when compared to some of the other boats in frustratingly
light winds.
Both Bob (aka The Salty Seadog) and myself have now removed our 'beards'
and our youthful radiance has been restored (the reservation at the care
home for 2 in St Lucia has now been cancelled).
We have just finished dinner and witnessed a beautiful sunset. With clear
skies, the night sky will no doubt continue to enthrall and captivate those
on deck.
