SuperTramp - Blog Day 17



Are we there yet????
Like children on a long car journey we ask regularly how far we have to go. At present 250 miles. Our ETA is some time on Thursday night and although we would prefer to arrive in daylight we have got to the stage where we just want to get in……….whatever time!
We are cruising along nicely at around 8 knots but still have a very uncomfortable side swell which kicks the stern around violently every so often making it difficult to helm and also sleep. But spirits are high and we are mentally working our way through the cocktail list.
"Miss Wilson" the cabbage had a burial at sea as she was starting to decompose, so I'm back to being the only female on board! Yes a little Atlantic madness all round but you find anything to relieve the boredom and lift the spirits.
Our new wind generators and solar panels have been a great investment in keeping the batteries charged although we have had to run the generator daily to make water and top them up as the freezer draws a lot of power.
We are planning to have roast chicken for our last supper tonight and I might even bake another chocolate fudge cake, however it is very very hot in the galley now so I'm not sure who gets the most "baked".
2450 miles down and YES we're nearly there!
