Hot Stuff - day 3



Headwinds again today. Interesting cooking, cleaning, and dressing in a washing machine! sorry Hot Stuff we love you for the beautiful race boat that you are but we love you more when you're reaching! We dropped south to avoid the strom forming in the north running 100 miles off the African coast keeping an eye out for container ships. We spotted our first whale, its body breaking the surface and diving out of sight. Later that day we saw 'him' again spouting about a mile off - amazing and something we will keep with us forever. Now that we're getting used to the boat we have started our cleaning rota. As a reward we broke open the M&Ms. The bananas are finished - we're now starting on the apples. Mary braved two hours in the galley in her oilies making dinner. Hot work on Hot Stuff - thanks for taking one for the team Mary! Nighttime found us on a broad reach heading for St Lucia at last - hooray! We celebrated with music and granola bars.
