Distance
covered noon-to-noon 169nm. The wind is starting to back as we go
further west and north and by mid afternoon it had come around
sufficiently to enable us to switch to our downwind sail
configuration; head sail poled out to port and the lighter weight
headsail ballooner poled out to starboard like a large inverted kite.
Main and mizzen are furled away. The swell is more comfortably
following and the rolling reduced. And the temperature is rising –
up to 24c today. I may go mad and shed a layer of clothing soon.
For
dinner I cooked, yes from scratch, a sausage, haricot bean and potato
one pot casserole.
