Well it was a fairly quiet rolly night last night and by the early hours of the morning we lost most of the nice current we have been sailing so well in. We were down to 3-4 knots so when Julie woke we set the old spinnaker and are back doing 5-6 and not rolling. We started the engine while we set it up and when I went to shut it down noticed salt water pissing out of the raw water pump. I replaced it with a whole new pump and hopefully once the gasket glue is set it will be back to normal. Always something ;) we are now at 6 degrees north and in the summer months here and the temperature and humidity is right up there.
It's now Noon and we have 113nm to go until we get to the river entrance and then another 22 miles up the river till we get to Domburg. The tide starts flooding at midday tomorrow so we plan to head on up sometime then.
Beer was well deserved today :)
Noon to noon 137nm
