PG Roshni - 24/11 2035 Reach

15:56.0N 44:04.7W
Evening all
Well finally ! Aching fingers and tired minds we fixed the sail and its holding touch wood!
Set off with the pole out to port and headed a bit S of Barbados only to be hit by a squall and 30kn breeze pushing us more towards Brasil !
Up we gets again to support Ali who was helming. Decided to take down the pole, gybe back to 300 and broad reach tonight so everyone can get some rest (including me I hope)!
In other news:
Our 1/2 way party started well with waffles honey and real coffee this morning :) this evening chef of the day Nigel treated us with frey bentos steak and kidney pies all round (and one balti pie?) and canned veg - luxury eh ! The canned veg tastes better than the fresh from cape verdes - good old Jamie and Sainsbury again!
Susan wore the party outfit left for us by Betsy as promised - what a lovely pirate :) I have requested a fore deck outing for the kit again when we arrive in St Lucia - not sure Ali will allow this!!
All good to be back on the route with 2 sails - around 950 miles to go now albeit we will need to zig zag a bit.
Breeze steady at 15-20 - I think we have a big load of weed around the keel as shes feeling a bit heavy ! Not planning to dive in to have a look though - step too far in 3m waves !
