Last night bought some more great sailing on K8 ,up to 14 knots boat speed as we surfed a 30 knt squall, alas an early morning jibe did result in some slightly burnt fingers (Nick will be wearing gloves in future when sweating the main !! ) and an odd temporary limp following some simple muscular damage ..
Dawn , bought worrying and confused news of Tilley Mints ( Oy 82) involvement in the rescue of some St Lucian fisherman – alas the search continues - they weren’t wearing life jackets . – we are all at the mercy of the sea , and out thoughts are with the families of the missing fisherman
As we are now sailing off the coast of Columbia , we have had the “new “kite up for a little , but prudence had us take it off when wind reached 20 knts , most importantly we are celebrating Jens B’day - with special New Zealand Lamb , all sorts of girly gifts – most useful on a boat ( Adrian a fishing lure does not really count !)
we think it may be Monday afternoon for arrival in Colon ( Panama ) – your expectations are somewhat dampened by place names !
From a handicap POV we are looking good !!! – so we are having a great Saturday !
