Jubilate Mare - Still no wind or fish but we do have fresh bread!



We are only going to motor until 1800 today, even if we haven’t found the elusive wind, the last thing we need to do is run out of fuel.

Despite having put out lines, almost every day, we have yet to catch a fish on this rally. No doubt it will taste all the better when we finally do - or should that be IF?

Kieron has been making bread, so that is something we all look forward to daily. Unfortunately I think we will run out of flour before we get to Horta. Bruno has been taking lessons from the master and has declared ‘I shall never buy bread again’. He cooked supper last night and declared it to be ‘Rice and Things’, and I must say R&Ts went down very well after the evening’s G&Ts.

Boat days have now settled into a lovely rhythm. We adopted Claire’s suggested watch pattern (given on an ARC seminar in Las Palmas last year) of 2 x 6 and 3 x 4 overnight. With our crew of six, watching in pairs, this means every third day you get a whole day off and eight hours sleep. It’s working well and everyone is very happy. Still, we have a long way yet to go.
