[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!

[status] Another glamour night of mellow sailing down wind, waves and current. At sunset yesterday we noticed what may be a small wear hole in the main at top spreaders so put in a reef to change the chafing point. Will investigate properly this morning and repair, but until then no full mainsail.
