Jasmine - Day 5 .



On waking this morning we find that all is unchanged overnight.
Weather and sea conditions the same meant no sail or heading alterations in the night ,we are steering 270 in force 4 to 5 easterly and making 7 or so knots ,
travel in excess of 160 miles in 24 hours with a boomed out jenny and main goosewinged. Nothing to report bar Bills excellent roast lamb last night ,a triumph .
Today ongoing maintainence ,checking for chafe and eating, time is begining to appear in our days for a little reading.
No wildlife observed apart from some shearwaters gracefully prowling the troughs in search of food then summiting the crest with an inch to spare before gliding down into the next . How they survive out here beats me . Weve caught nothing yet though Nick hooked something yesterday but it got away .
The sky remains overcast but the air temperature is in the twenties .
An air of contentment permeates Jasmine her skipper and her crew.
