2200 GMT: Nothing really to report or write. Life continues on board. Been a bit frustrating over the last few days because the wind is constantly behind us and it is ranging from 5 to 15 knots which means we are changing the sail configuration quite often for a cruiser. Also with the light conditions and 2m swells the boat rocks around a lot and the sails flap continuously. Better than being solo in a storm though, I guess. We’re about 60 miles from Ascension now so we will arrive tomorrow morning. Can’t decide whether I should buy cigarettes or not. Stuart is a nice guy and we’ve had a few interesting conversations over the last week. A bit strange, not being used to the way he sails and all. Missing all of you who’ll be reading this when I send it through. At sea you get a lot of time to think, especially when there are only two of you on board. So I have been thinking, just thought I’d let you all know that I’ve been thinking.
Have started reading Ellen MacArthur’s book about her Vendee Globe experience and it really is a wonderful read. Quite an emotional read in that she went through some tough times and so one feels for her as one reads about her experience.
