Aquavita - Day 2 alone in the big ocean

We could see most of the ARC fleet on AIS yesterday. This morning they have all disappeared off the AIS. At 13.00 we checked the mileage, we've done 156nm in the first 24 hours. That makes our average speed in 15-25 knot wind at 6.5kt. The main had 2 reefs in before sunset yesterday, at about 04.00 this morning the jib was pulled in as wind was increasing and gusting to 30kt.

Jason was still seasick, he was lying down on the sofa except when he had to sit up to eat. But whatever he ate either came out straight away or not long after. Poor boy! Hope after the first few days his body will adjust to the rhythm of the ocean.

Foodstuff moved around in the fridge. When I opened the fridge in the morning tubs of yogurt fell out and cracked. So I had those for breakfast. Very healthy yogurt diet!
