Friday was a particularly fustrating day, hot (too hot), slight seas and not
enough wind. It would take us a month to get to Barbados with the current
wnd strength! With the thought of missing Santa shimming down the mast the
engine was started when needing to charge the batteries!
Our noon position on Friday was 14deg 12N, 30deg 26W. it was Alan's turn to
cook are we were served with a lovely plate of sausage and mash. Then
steadily throughout the night the wind increased. it was lovely to turn the
engine off and be maintaining a good speed towards our destination.
After an early lunch today we were treated to our first squall. A thick grey
cloud appeared from astern. Alan and Stu quickly reduced the headsails and
in turn we treated to a soaking! The cloud has now past and we've dried out,
Ocean Lady is back on course and doing 6 knots towards the Caribbean.
Our noon position was 13deg 55N, 32deg 38W.
Love to all at home hope your having a great weekend.
