We’re in Shipping Forecast SOLE, now and heading towards the traffic separation zones so starting to see more traffic, if you call three boats in 24 hours one of which was Diana, more traffic.
The first one was last night and as we put a tack in to maintain separation things got a little excited when one of the sheets jumped across the companionway and got jammed in another winch. We had to make another tack to clear the sheet, and then tack back. Everyone was sweaty and tired once we’d finished.
The forecasted fall in wind strength did not materialise so the night sailing was as lively as any for the duration of the trip. Wind remains stronger than forecast and we continue to make good progress towards the channel in glorious sunshine.
We’re having pizza this afternoon but apparently Dominos refused to deliver so 1st mate Mark is currenty making the dough for it rather than his usual cake mix.
Melony says she’s missing her knight in shining armour.
All for now
