SuperTramp - Blog day 14

It's getting warmer!
Last night was the first night we were on watch in t shirts and shorts. Will is finding it hard to sleep in the little bunk cabin as it gets very hot since he can't open his porthole. The stars at night are amazing and at present Scott holds the record for seeing the most shooting stars…………………….that's a lot of wishes!
Supertramp is performing beautifully, however, downwind is not her favourite point of sail and we have tried many combinations. Last night before dinner we set the sails goose winged with the Gib out on the pole. She settled well if a tad rocky as the swell is a little on our beam. At least now our VMG is matching our speed.
Will's curry was AMAZING last night. His visit to the spice stall at the food market was well worth it. We will give him a break in the galley today when we cook our second roast of the passage, but I think that may be difficult as he enjoys it so much.
My only disappointment on this trip is that we haven't caught a fish. We have tried everything. Even Dads famous washing up glove lure that caught him many a tuna on his Atlantic passages hasn't tempted them. We are obviously doing something wrong, but will keep trying.
For those who are flying out to meet us in St Lucia in the next few days, have a safe journey and we hope to see you on Friday if all goes to plan. In the meantime have fun sampling the cocktails!
