Mum’s dream of having a quieter ride has been granted. The winds are down to nothing and we are moving at less than 4 knots, sometimes begging for it to stay in the 3’s and not to drop back into the 1’s and 2’s. Our average trip speed is now tumbling and will start crashing […] Today was probably the best day of this crossing. Over night the wind and waves died down. There was no more pounding and banging. We sailed down wind, the sails wing on wing, the boat gliding over gentle swells. I could walk around without swinging from side to side, doing erratic dances, bashing into protruding […] 576nm to go. Light winds have dominated our existence for the last 24 hours or so. We’re really regretting the loss of our downwind sail as we’re doing a knot or two less than we could be. We joked about stitching it up which may not end up being a joke of the winds get […] Bored of the sea. The winds have really died on us and the forecast doesn’t show it’s going to be any better for a couple of days. We are now doing rubbish speeds. I might just sell my soul for some sleep, wind, booze and fish. 724…723…722…721… nautical miles to go! |
