we've realised that Pegasus isn't quite the old nag we thought she was when it comes to speed, if we don't have full fuel or water tanks, which we don't. With about 500 less kg on the boat, we are flying along with 2 reefs in the main and genoa, still going 8 knots into wind. I would prefer, given our current rig situation, that the winds were a little lighter than the 30 knots we have at the moment. The GRIB files did predict considerably less, however, at least we will get there quicker. We have a cunning plan regarding getting in in daylight hours - there are 2 islands about 12 hours apart, so we will just choose which one is our destination once we are a bit closer. Not much to report, other than I've noticed Mia doesn't get sea sick anymore, which is fab.
