Talulah Ruby II - log day 4-5 - Clean Crew are Happy Crew

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Thursday brought a calm, beautiful morning. The sun shone down on the crew and it seemed appropriate to have non-alcoholic beers and bacon sandwiches for breakfast. It was then time to turn off the motor and go for a swim off the back of the boat (our first wash of the trip so far!). All clean we sunned ourselves on deck and thought that this was the life.

Then came Friday. The swell from a passing storm caused us to have a very choppy ride and the wind picked up resulting in a tiring night but we got through it and spent today recovering. The wind is now dropping and the sun is setting on relatively calm seas and hopefully tomorrow we will find these elusive trade winds!
