Skyelark of London - Half way

Day 11

Just come hotfoot from the ’halfway point’ crew party. A fine meal of roast lamb followed by peach crumble with custard, yum! Special mention to chefs Dan and Em.

Fine sailing conditions maintain with winds around 15 to 22 knots. The swell running yesterday has eased to comfortable proportions and good VMG is being made. This morning’s deck shower on the foredeck remained challenging however. We seem to be disturbing a lot of flying fish these past couple of days, I’m very impressed by the distance they can travel above the waves.

The traditional crew ETA prediction competition has taken place, with answers veering from the wildly optimistic to ultra conservative. Dawning on me that a lot of action could be occuring on Friday 13^th, could be interesting....
