Evening all
Is it my old eyes giving in or what - just seems very dark tonight. The stars are out and as fabulous as ever with no light pollution to spoil them but it is dark! We should have the moon by 10 so it'll be fine for helming, in the interim Daisy is on the case and just as well as it is a bit light and sh..e atm.
Our friends on El Gato have exotic names for all their sails eg Zoro for their Code 0. Our main now called Colander has another hole appearing in front of the 2nd batten. Had to put one reef in and oversheet the main to protect it in these last 150 miles we have to go...
We made possibly our penultimate gybe late this morning to head for the N tip of St Lucia. The technique for doing this with the fancy carbon pole is a bit of a polava which starts by furling the headsail. Our furlex which has been playing up a bit has jammed now completely and I can't really fix it while at sea so we'll have to drop the sail on entry to the marina ...another little job :(.
It has been b hot today - not conducive for sleeping!
In other news:
We have a dozen eggs left so egg mayo for breakfast so watch out Rodney Bay drainage.
Ali cooked an interesting noodle red tinned chicken duck hoisin sweet chilli plum garam masala curry for tea.
Strangers is coming on but I need to review the second verse as it is a bit 'wrong'.
The fridge is full of beer for the finishing line.
Can't wait to go for a swim ....

Till later ...
