Challenger 4 - Challenger 4 Day Seven



The day the sun shone…
After last night’s drama, our Yankee 2 was fixed just after midnight by the North Atlantic division of the W.I. 4 hours of sewing and patching, and a great team effort to keep the yacht going and spirits high.
Night watches then commenced with some precarious helming and a lot of tired bodies. This didn’t detract from the fact that at 02:30 we hit the 1000 mile mark, a milestone we celebrated as a team after lunch with a (cold) can of fizzy pop.
Today’s mother watch was the Italian team of Bruno, Alesandro and Helena, who spent the day kneading pizza dough for lunch and preparing spaghetti Bolognese for dinner which went down exceptionally well with the crew.
After deep cleaning the worlds smelliest cool box and the rest of the yacht we spent a little time with the rest of the crew up on deck, who were enjoying the first proper day of sunshine we have had on the water. We must be getting further south as the first flying fish has been spotted and the bananas are going ripe.
Bedtime now but we have a happy crew, enjoying life aboard Challenger 4.
Bueno Notte
Bruce (Bruno), Alan (Alesandro) and Hayley (Helena)
