Overnight we had some great sailing with the wind on occasions gusting 20 knots and a boat speed of 9 knots, the sea has also picked up. As the morning progressed the wind became a bit more unpredictable and in the afternoon the wind remained about 20 knots on occasions gusting 24+ and the sea gradually becoming more lumpy as predicted on the weather forecast. Dobby, our windvane, was doing a fantastic job at keeping us on track.
For supper Nicole was in the galley again and made a very nice deconstructed shepherds pie. Our progress is very much better than it has been, but we are still not predicting our ETA in St Lucia just yet. Before we turned in for the night we put a reef in the main and a couple of furls in the genoa.
