Tohuwabohu - Leg 2 day 3

Firstly apologies for the lack of updates, I think there was a technical glitch on my emails which meant that the email system, satellite phone etc wasn’t working and we have been without communications for the last few days. I must admit sailing with the forecast for the next few days was ok however I was concerned that I couldn’t get any further updates from John R who is our uk weather router!
As I mentioned in a previous blog this is a German/English boat and it appears that a new language is developing.
We have been able to signal to each other about various different tasks, I’ll try and explain in a key below (Imagine the sound)
Peep peep - mobile phone alarm
Drip - small leak
Drip drip - bigger Leak
Drip drip drip (repeated quickly) - serious leak
Wiggle wiggle - move over
Woggle Woggle - move your pants
Puff puff - Alone time (for the lovers on the boat)
Flip flap - sail trim
Grrrr (like a tiger) yet to be decided

We have been treated to another sea water shower and I’m ver much looking forward to the next fresh water. Hopefully the wind will start to move from the east and we can get into more of a rhythm as we have been on a beam reach for a few days now. We are expecting this to happen over the next 24/48 hours and this should help increase the boat speed. Wildlife has been lacking, a few birds and flying fish but not a lot more . We are now 400 miles offshore, now that’s a long way !

Updates to follow soon,
