Cheeki Rafiki - Day 16 Continued



10 Reasons why we like Force 1 (1-3 knot) winds mid Atlantic (every cloud has a silver lining but do any have any wind)
 
1/. We finally get a chance to fish without trawling at 9 knots.
2/. Taking sextant sun sights is really easy as the boat and horizon are not jumping up an down in opposite directions
3/. Plotting sun sights does not involve the error of the run between sights as you have not gone anywhere!
4/. The crew can rest/catch up on sleep
5/. If you are in your bunk you don't get flung from one side to the other every 12 seconds
6/. Cooking no longer takes place at 45 degrees
7/. The kite trimmer does not require a grinder
8/. There is no weather helm
9/. The leg of ham hangs stationary in the middle of the saloon and instead of assaulting anyone who dares to go forward
10/. We can rest is the knowledge that sailing wise life will and can only get better
 
and for a bonus number 11- We have plenty time to send out blogs and Facebook entries
