Blonde Moment - blog 2 first 24 hrs



After the excitement of the start we soon settled in the life on board and on clearing the Bermuda fairway buoy the fleet soon set out on the separate route for the Azores. if is quite amazing how quickly the fleet disperses in to the open sea considering we all have the same final destination!

Having pre prepared the code zero sail before we left the dock in Bermuda it was easy to deploy this sail and head off on our course....typically it was soon obvious that this was the wrong sail and we should have been flying the asymmetrical spinnaker which would have allowed us to sail a more northerly course .....Being short handed I decided not to use up energy in the heat of the sun and see how it all panned out the first night at sea was fantastic with clear stary skies, flat seas and good sailing at 8 plus knots although slightly in the wrong direction...
