Susan Ann II - log day 6

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES!

From swimming in 5000m of water with the engines off and the boat drifting along sweetly to 36kts and a 3rd reef in 12 hours!
They say catamarans are only good for downwind but we’ve been beating to windward at 40 degrees apparent since we left Las Palmas and Susan Ann II is doing us proud. We are currently 2 days from 20N30W doing 6.5kts upwind with a 2 - 3m swell on our beam. That being said... our boat is trashed, there’s water melon all over the cockpit floor and somehow squashed bananas all over the flybridge supports.
Crew morale is still high after the amazing past 5 days but we are all looking forward to finding the trade winds and putting this swell firmly behind us.

Love from The Daley Adventure x
