From Emma – Shift handover at midnight and the report was nothing much at all. Nothing as in the winds were in our favour still, the speed we were on was also good and no close Cargo encounters. The day kept going this way with the predicted wind changes being wrong again but alas this was still in our favour. Steady 6 knots for most of the day and in the right direction. Some of our highlights today was Iris able to through her banana peel over the life lines into the water rather then leaving a Mario Kart banana skin on the deck. I successfully put the kettle on an made coffees in the galley, all small but big wins. My 2pm shift felt like about 10 hours, being dubbed the longest shift ever. All in all, a great day of steady sailing, small wins and uneventful. The water temp is up to 21 degrees, air temp in cockpit up to 32 degrees, it’s getting tropical.
