Yesterday was a great day, each day we plot the position on the chart at noon and then can work out our 24 hour run and we make a guessing game of it and crack a beer. I guessed 141nm, Julie 148, we made good 147.6, was a great days sailing:)
With those miles we had a little bit of current against us but not much, last night though it hit us at least 1.5kts against us. Between that and a lot of rain around with squalls and wind from 5-25kts it was a real slow night. Today's run I reckon we will be lucky to make 110nm although now it is day light and we have taken out a reef and are doing a lot better, 6.5 through the water but only making 4.5-5kts good.
There's been a few ships around but not much else although a fair bit of bird action with fish around, shame it is too rough for us to tow a line at the moment, hence last night we had chicken stir fry:)
Everyone and everything is well aboard Sunflower
