SuperTramp - day 13



After a couple of days of light winds and a very frustrated crew, we have again found the wind by sailing south.
Yesterday was a hectic day catching up on 'housework' and washing. I'm sure the amount of ARC t shirts hanging out to dry gave us a few more knots!
We had frittatas for lunch and the very last of our salad. I also baked my first loaf of bread on board which was a huge success and went down very well with our supper of turkey meatballs in a lovely rich sauce made by Will. He was going to make a curry, only silly me took minced turkey out of the freezer instead of turkey strips.But then we still have the curry to look forward to! It is so true that the highlight of the day is mealtimes.
I am very pleased how our provisions have lasted and my thanks go to Sophie and Alison who helped with selection and quantity. However we bought too much cabbage! There is only so much you can do with cabbage………………..and it does cause a few problems with the digestion. That really isn't the kind of wind we want! So we decided that we needed a new crew member in the form of "Miss Wilson" the cabbage, who is giving us some entertainment. I'm not sure who smells better,Miss Wilson or the crew?
We flew the new asymmetrical spinnaker yesterday and it is such a beautiful sail. Thank you Dad for my early Xmas present. She allowed us to cruise along at 7/8 knots in a light breeze.
Let's hope the fair winds continue as we are all looking forward to seeing family on the other side.

Fi and the crew.
