Sephina of Beaumaris - Day 9 Pit Stop



Day 9 Pit Stop After leaving Gran Canaria thinking the next land we will see is St.Lucia, one week after our departure we called into Mindelo. However, unlike several of the other ARC yachts there, we did not need to wait around for repair work etc. It was a simple sail in, wait 10 minuets for fuel and then off again. It was what I’d call an F1 pit stop. We did however anchor up for a couple of hours just so that we could get the washing machine on (something that I am still not used to). Being out of the wind whilst at anchor we suddenly realised how hot it is, and were glad to finally get on the move again.

So far contact with home has been fairly simple, simply pick up the sat phone and call home. I was eager to call yesterday as being out here, I missed the final autumn international between Wales and Australia. Turns out it was a great game, but we lost.
I know all my family and Steph’s and also friends are watching our progress and keeping up with the blog so a big Hellooo to you all.

For all those watching you may have noticed that after clearing the islands we have finally set our compass to 270 WEST. No more heading south for us, finally we are on our way to sunny St.Lucia.

Friendly fisherman....Matt

P.S. Saw the cats whispering earlier and pointing up at the laptop...strange.
