Greetings from Ensemble.
200nm to go. No wind to speak of (6.5 knots) - and a flat sea. We've struggled - but sailed through the night - albeit at speeds of only 4- 5 knots. We'll be starting the engines soon!
We managed to lose another lure - not sure what it was but it was big as it snapped the line... We did manage to catch a flying fish using the bathroom sink - much to Magali's surprise when she woke up (unfortunately I missed the scream).
On the food front, we (Magali) managed banana bread, pizza for lunch and scallop pasta for dinner - with the usual wine and cheese for the sunset rendevous. Today we plan a BBQ and bubbles to celebrate our (hopefully) last night at sea.
The challenge for today will be when and if to start the engine. We want to arrive in daylight tomorrow - so need to get there in the next 34 hours... or wait off. That means we would need to do about 6 knots on average... a tough call with no wind!
So - wish us wind!
Cheers
Dave & Magali
