Off the coast of Maine - 9 June


We've had fabulous sailing over the past 24 hours. The sky has been clear blue with very little cloud, so glorious. There is a slight nip in the air during the day and chilly at night, but this is just a very welcome change from the heat down in Panama and the Caribbean. It's much easier to sleep.
Today I've been on mother watch with one of the new leggers, Peiyi, so I had a lovely long sleep last night. The pay back though, is that I've been mainly down below while we have this lovely weather. I did manage an hour on deck after lunch to enjoy it and was able to as I wasn't working for that hour. We made a huge chocolate cake for the five o'clock meeting so that went down well.

We are all pushing hard as we want to do well in this race. So far so good, we're in a good position and as long as the wind does what we expect and nothing goes wrong, we should achieve our goal. Our motto is "What can possibly go wrong!"

The new leggers seem to be settling in well and I think losing their just joining nerves. Peter has some wonderful video of dolphins on his camera and Jeff, as always, has some great photos of the first two days.

All is happy on the good ship Singapore.
