Miss Liz II - Log = Day 15 - Becalmed

What a different a day makes. After the storms of Sunday night, on Monday during the day the winds steadily calmed until by evening there was none at all. So the Iron sail was cranked up and we started to motor. This went on for most of the night - although about 2am we did raise the parasailor and were able to motor sail, albeit slowly. This has put us back time wise and it now looks likely that we will make landfall somewhere on Friday...

Incident of the day? The self tacking Jib car has broken.Selden will be getting a call as it is only 6 months old!! Luckily we are able to rig as a normal Jib as we have cars on the coach roof for the purpose - so just a few changes in the sheets required.

Dinner was based on beef, with every vegetable possible included...An interesting Chris delicacy!

This morning back on Parasailor in light winds and we are sailing directly down wind which is a bonus. We just need the wind to pick up a little more to boost as long at more than 6 Knots!

Setting up the Parasailor Jon, Chris and Nigel were luck enough to have two pods of dolphins come and watch what they were up to. Hopefully a god omen.
