[status] Repaired the mainsail. On closer inspection it wasn't bad at all, more of a stitch in time repair. Used some Kevlar sticky back patches and nice and strong now.
Wind was a bit lighter today especially around midday. Briefly gybed to stbd to avoid a cloud bank. Also quite keen to be a bit west of rhumb line for hopefully good current.
Otherwise another nice quiet day of champagne sailing. Highlight was delicious fairy cakes by Lyn for afternoon tea, yum!
Have been communicating with Impi and Blue Bie by iridium SMS. Bloody cats are faster than us, especially Impi who are using their spinnaker and are now about 80 miles ahead of us:)
