More of the same today, going very slow to squeeze as many miles to the gallon out of my diesel that I can. There was a great little breeze for a couple of hours around lunchtime, it was beautiful, but then it faded away. There are heaps of rain clouds around at the moment. There is one directly behind that has me in its sights I think, there were also a lot this morning, I like to sleep in the cockpit, but they were one after the other, so I had to move inside. So apart from the non stop motoring, and a bit of a diesel shortage all is going fine. Hoping for a nice little breeze tonight, the swell has dropped off so I can sail nicely in a light breeze without the boom and sails banging around.
