The good news is we made reasonable progress during the first half of the night and continued to do so during my Watch.
Dinner by Mick - Chicken Pesto. The last of our fresh meat. From now on it's tins and packets plus the fresh root vegetables we still have - probably 4 days worth in total of potatoes, yam and squash plus 6 onions. We'll have to start rationing those.
Of course we may catch a fish but there doesn't seem much appetite amongst the crew to tackle the logistical challenges and more gruesome aspects, of landing, killing and gutting such prey!
Apart from the ever present rolling, the sailing continues to be pretty much effortless. We've had the twin headsails up since leaving Mindelo and all we've had to do so far is adjust the angle of the wind vane to keep us pointing vaguely west. If the winds behave as predicted by our most recent grib, we may well carry them all the way to Barbados. Aside from coping with the rolling in the galley and when trying to sleep, this rig places minimum stress on boat and crew. As mentioned in a previous post, the wind and sea state have been pretty benign too.
Otherwise nothing of any great significance to report.
