In Tune - IN TUNE Thurs 13th December. Showers at night



Woopee, we have now had 24 hours without rain squalls. The wind increased last night as was forecast so we dropped the Parasailor at midnight and ran under the genoa. This gives us all a calmer ride and better sleep, but we pay the price of slower speed. Last night was clear starry skies, and all of us on watch saw many shooting stars; maybe this was the forecast meteor showers. A light appeared on our port bow on my (Philip) watch and rapidly approached, passing in front of us a little over 1 NM ahead; it turned out to be a freighter en route to Brazil.

The wind did not drop this morning as forecast, so still decided to put up the Parasailor about mid morning, and run with that until nightfall. Today has been a quiet day for us reading, and with Martin winning nomination whist - again! We are now seeing lots of sargosi seaweed, which makes fishing impossible. We believe that many of the boats have finished now - you folks would know better than us because we do not have access to the WCC boat tracker website. Dinner tonight is bbq chicken with peanut sauce and rice.
