What a long, slow 24 hours, The wind has been painful. It just has not filled in and allowed us to head south to the coast. It has however given us good practice in light airs helming, trimming and peeling kites. We have changed between the windseeker and the Code 1 too many times in the last 24 hours.

Only the jokes on deck have kept us going and they have been brilliant. The crew are all well, and in a way this slow start, excluding having to replace a halyard in the first 6 hours, the light has allowed the crew to settle in and without the usual sea sickness. Which I believe all the guys are settling in. The bread is being baked, and smells great, the meals are good, the boat is clean and tidy, all without the smell of sick dominating. Pure heaven.

Otherwise, very little to report, so let’s hope the forecast is right and we will be able to do some sailing above 5 knots.

Cheers
