Another great days sailing with the current, it got a bit light about noon but is nice
now.
Its slowly backing around to the north, its a bit aft of the beam now.
Its forecast to freshen, so I have the 1st reef in, and a preventer on.
The days are pretty busy, I have a few skeds on the HF, and I spend a fair bit of time
getting weather maps and trying to figure out what to do.
I've been getting plenty of sleep, just in short spells, eating lots of canned food, but
have a pretty healthy lunch and breakfast. I had some great muslie but have eaten it all,
so on to porridge which is OK.
I will probably get to Richards Bay on the 9th of November, the day after my birthday.
But that's ok because my Mainsail is starting to look pretty ratty, maybe I can have a
new one for a birthday present. Have we got any money Jan ! ( I wouldn't have a
clue).So all good here, I might just go and heat up a can of lentils with sausages in it.
