[status] Apologies we’re a little late with this evenings YIT update, I’ll keep it short and sweet. The chicken went down very well! We have been sailing all day with two reefs in our main sail and no head sail out. Just before dark we were slowing a little so Mike shook out one of the reefs. We saw our first big container ship pop up on our AIS, but did not view it with our eyes. Mike spotted a shark… mmm getting closer to sharky waters eh! Oh and in the past 24hrs we did 195 nautical miles. All well on board.
