We are just sailing past the Bahamas. Life is tough
although having said that, we haven't seen much of the land. I think we all
avidly await the schedules of the race positions to see if we have caught up at
all. As ever, none of like being “tail-end Charlie”. This morning we've had a
good spinnaker run for the whole four hour watch so we are making good
progress.
Yesterday was a little cooler, as we had cloudy skies. We
were treated, in the evening, to a squall passing over us and I went up to join
a few of the crew having a deck shower in the rain. I had been wanting desperately
to wash my hair so it came just at a timely moment, while I was off watch. It
was bliss, to just get soaking wet with fresh water and have a nice wash. The
rain runs down the main sail and there you get the best shower.
Food wise it was a good day too. Ben made us all
scrambled eggs for breakfast and the fish we caught in the morning was divine. It
was real food for a change and felt we were getting something with nutritional
value. Actually that's a bit harsh. The food is ok but rather repetitive and
almost everything is out of cans.
I'm continuing to learn lots, so I am really appreciating
that.
