We fly the spinnaker until just before sunset , then goosewing the sails for the night shift. The wind drops in the night but we manage to maintain a reasonably steady 7 -8 knots. The wind stays E/SE , 13-15 knots. Stewy gets the shock of his life when he goes for a shower and stands on another flying fish.( Still no other fish arrivals by the way!!!)
As our ice has long gone , we’ve been using ice cube bags which make just enough for our sundowners each evening – but they have now run out – things are looking bleak………. We are therefore delighted to discover that our experiment with freezing small plastic bottles water has worked a treat and we now have huge chunks of ice for the drinks! We are going to survive the voyage after all! Especially as we have another party today – 500 miles to go – in about one hour’s time!
