Subject: Day 6 - hotWe had a lovely sail during the night in a steady 12-17kts SE and made good progress. This continued up to about 10:40 am this morning when suddenly the wind just vanished. Its last dying breaths were forward of the beam - something i never thought I'd experience on crossing this far south. The good news is we seemed to avoid the squalls on the horizon which darkened the morning skies.
It has given us an opportunity to dry off the last of our damp clothing and do some washing.
Not much else to report. We're all well and have most of the creature comforts one can live with. This includes ice cream and cake.
