Other points of interest:
small bird came aboard today weak and on last legs - sadly died - must have been blown out from land
Watch system working well - 3 hours on 3 hours off from 6 pm until 6 am then two watches of 6 hours during the day
hot sunny, blue sky , gentle breeze, ran all day under poles out twin head sails as easy sailing - excellent relaxing day
We changed the meal system so that we cook mid day between watches and there is plenty of time to prepare food and tidy up
cooking in the evening as darkness descends when one is also sending scheduled messages through , receiving the next 3 days weather files and maybe changing sails before the night watches start is too busy
we have been lucky with weather so far but expect some northerlies in the next 2 days
