Motivational moments

This morning, I smelt fresh bread and grilling bacon as I came out from a warm shower. These are the motivational moments that keep us going. Claire treated us to this almost-mid-Atlantic brunch treat and this, alongside the successful running of the water maker and an opportunity for a shower, put a new spring in our steps.

Pete ceremoniously put the champagne in the fridge, another motivational moment, for tomorrow we will cross the halfway point, 1450nm on the log expected sometime before midday. For a brief moment we will cease to be a dry boat and the champagne flutes will be filled for an afternoon of celebration!

Zaurak also celebrated her longest run in 24 hours on Tuesday, covering 178nm.

The skipper is also delighted to have finally drawn together his memories of astro navigation and successfully used the sun to identify our position to within two miles. (For the reassurance of those at home, we also have some digital devices keeping a track of our position, just in case.)

Zaurak out.
