We said a sad farewell to Skylark 2 with whom we have sailed the last 1000 miles. Their autpilot was giving them concern so they decided to divert to Galle, Sri Lanka whilst we continued on our roller coaster passage to the Maldives. The winds are good 20 knots from the NE but the sea is extremely confused with a 2-3 m swell making it a very uncomfortable passage. We are not making the speeds we did yesterday as we need to put up more sail but the thought of heading into this sea to increase sail is just out of the question.
Our course is taking us westwards around 60 odd miles south of Sri Lanka before we start to head northwestwards to the top of the Maldives. All is well on board.
