Hello everybody!

Nothing has changed here! Still living at 20° angle, on a bumpy ride south.

Yesterday I attempted to fix the small diesel leaks, so we will see if it works or not. It is not the easiest job - under the cockpit, trying not to bump my head or back on the coffee grinder system and sliding around due to oil then diesel; it is like an ice rink. Trying to keep still enough to sand, clean and then fill the joints…. I came out after my repair looking like a caveman (or cavewoman)!

As you can imagine, the sailing at the moment is not the most fun. With unstable winds yesterday, I had everything from 6 to 26 knots of wind. Trying to keep Roxy going fast without putting too much strain on anything is quite a full-time job at the moment and it is difficult to get enough rest.

Yesterday morning I was treated to a cockpit that looked like a murder scene! An enourmous flying fish had nosedived into the boat and alongside that, I had missed a little when I had thrown the rest of my lasagna over the side! Luckily, now, we are in “washing machine mode” all of that has been quickly washed away by the buckets and buckets of (still warm) seawater that come cascading over the boat.
