Another day of running eastwards like greyhounds, and each of us are trying to get into the position that we think is the best for us, or where the software is saying we should be….and so that is where we are going .
It is going to be interesting to see which side is the best to get through this small wind-less transition ahead of us, before we get onto the back of a growing squall which will take us directly down south and into the Pacific….but well….
It is honestly quite difficult to know what is going to happen, since sometimes the calms will appear more to the south or more to the north, and in these cases it is usually more beneficial for those coming up from behind since those in front come to a standstill. But sometimes those who get there first will get through to the other side before the others. In 40 hours or so we will see what happens.
Meanwhile on board I have done a little maintenance work and some routine checks – changing the filter of the water-maker with a sewing thread…..and another little fiddly thing or two…
Tomorrow is going to be a great day – I am finally going to open food bag number 4 with my chocolate and cookies !!!!
