to Fiji on E'eva

07 June 2010
up early from a night of very sloppy seas. 5 knts but lots of motions.

we had the fishing rod has been out all day but no luck.

A day in the life of E'eva.
11:00am Pascal gets the weather fax and decides which direction we should be heading. i'm either sitting in the cockpit watching the world go by or inside reading a book.

The windpilot autohelm sits on the back steering the boat while we sit inside on the warm. so far it has steered him 24183miles on his trip. it doesn't matter what the weather is like this little gadget sits in the cold doind all the work while we sit inside trying to decide what to have for lunch.
Today is Rusdi, potato and onion fried and turned out like and omelet.
the a wee glass of something warming, today was port from Banrock station.
After lunch, the crew (that's me) doesthe dishes while the skipper (that's Pascal) has a snooze.
Every 20 minutes or so someone gets up and has a look around ot see that we are still sailing i n the right direction and there are no big floating nasties out there and then its back to a book.
there is nothing to do until we have to decide what is for dinner.
It's a tough life... :-)
