I occasionally looked out through the night but as we seemed to be going more or less in the right direction it was not until 5:00am that some action was called for. The wind had swung round in the previous half hour to a very light Southerly which has been with us all day. Almost flat seas and brilliant sunshine made up for the very slow average speed of less than three knots. It is times like this that I regret blowing out my asymmetric as it would have been just right for these conditions.
