Next Step - Tuesday 3rd December 2019



The wind stayed with us all night keeping our speed up but our track was a bit more northerly that we wanted. In the morning we gybed the main and got back to our track. We found a total of 10 flying fish on the deck in the morning, during the night Nicole had one join her in the cockpit. The sun is out and all is well, we are making about 7 to 8 knots through the water. Dobby, our windvane, was doing an excellent job driving the boat without any input from the crew, also enabling us to conserve power as we still have not managed to get the Watt&Sea going again. Lunch was a selection of Bimbo bread sandwiches. The afternoon was fairly uneventful, the wind was increasing and the swells were getting a bit lumpy. Before we had our supper, cooked by David, we put a further reef in the main and the genoa as the wind was expected to gust up to 29 knots overnight.
