[status] This morning the squally conditions gave way to a stunning day of sailing in quite steady breeze and slight seas. What a pleasure as we roared along in 15 knots just aft of the beam, with only occasional trimming required.
Our excellent shore crew (Keith) has arranged all the spares we need and we will await delivery by our own personal courier service ( Jacqui and Bronte). Isn?t Family wonderful, thank you!
The good conditions remain tonight as I write this although it is showing signs of decreasing strength as predicted. We are both well and happy, starting to get a little bit excited about getting there now. ?
