six hours could last so long! 26deg 15 min North, 15 deg 43 min West.
The wind has finally abondoned us. The spinaker (still our very vesatile
heavy weight) had to make way for the windseeker and the windseeking
game started. A very intense game it is in the heat of the sun. Do wes
top before the next patch o breeze is ging to arrive or are our 35
tonnes enough to keep us going until the next push by the wind. The
track on our chartplotter looks like an artists impression of a mountain
range. We have tried many different varieties of water additives as the
bland stuff our watermaker produces does not satisfy the taste buds and
we needed to get a few liters down our throats.All this in our never
ending 6 hour afternoon watch. Now down for 6 hrs sleep to rejuvenate
for a 6 hr night watch (midnight to 6) as we have just decided to swap
our 4 hr nightwatches to the daytime and the 6 hr daytime watches to the
night time.
