Laura Dawn - Pacific Log 5: Stocks are up!



Oh yes, we are truly trading! We've been happily sailing now for over 24 hours with 18 - 22 knots of wind with the odd gust of 24, We think we have finally stumbled across the true trade winds. The seas are little livelier but we are making a good 7 - 10 knots, with an occasional 11 with one reef in the mainsail and a full genoa.

We have Owl close by (about 15 miles although we cant see them on the horizon they pop up on AIS from time to time) and we whiled away a few happy hours yesterday afternoon playing radio quiz's! They did much better than us with 4 out of 7 correct answers to our 3 and a half! Its good to have company and hopefully we'll get a chance to redeem ourselves in a re-match.

The chicken and bacon pasta bows made Jack a very happy chappy yesterday and we are going for no 32 on the take out menu tonight: sweet and sour pork, with a pop corn starter.

We have our fingers crossed for a 200 mile 24 hours: that is while we are not hanging.
