Crossing Day 6 - 16/12/23

For the first time on this passage I was asleep when my alarm went off and it took a while for it to penetrate my ear-plugs. Whilst not exactly raring to go at least I didn't feel absolutely knackered.

It was 0100 local time so we tried Starlink again for half an hour. Same result - no connection! With hardly any sun yesterday our batteries are very low - around 40% of capacity and will therefore be around 20% by the time the sun comes up - so that's it for now. 

We'll need to run the water maker for an hour or so later which will consume about 6 Amp hours. Hopefully we'll get sun tomorrow and if so we'll probably run the engine once the solar panels are shaded by the sails in the late afternoon.
