6:00pm Wednesday 13th December 2017 ( UTC-2 ) The weather and sailing over the last 24 hours has been smooth and gentle if a little trying at times. Some time after lunch the gentle breeze eased some more and it was only by heading more to the East were we able to stop the annoying slatting of the sails. Though never becalmed the speed often slunk around the 2 knot mark with the wind maybe two or three knots more. With the sun now going down it's nice to be moving smoothly along at around five to six knots in the right direction. Last night, with no moon for most of it, the stars did a fair job of pushing through some very light high cloud. Completing the washing required 12 litres of water and thus the daunting prospect of three hours of continuous pumping of the manual desalinator plus of course the daily/weekly requirements. I'm steeling myself for a start tomorrow even though the cabin temperatures are around the 31C mark for most of the day. I guess I'm putting this out there to give me the extra push to get motivat ed.
