4 mtrs and criss crossing their direction.But as the hours ticked on the
swell direction become more uniform and our comfort increased
proportionately.Yesterday the wind also started running out of steam and
the swell is now a nice rolling two mtrs and we are curving more and
more in the direction we want to go.The weather should be completely in
our favour from the 5th onwards with wind,current and boat all moving in
the same direction.The powercat is asking different questions than the
sailing catamarans and interesting to experiment and find new
solutions.
Yesterday morning the crew had a fab time baking peanut butter and
banana cookies and two types of banana bread.Instead of the bananas
going to waste they were put to good use.Last night it was my turn to
cook and I prepared a simple country vegetable stew with rice.Cubed
beef,carrots,cabbage,potatoes,onions,garlic,marrows,tomatoes,peas,chilli
beef stock,Worshester sauce,soya sauce,salt,pepper,mixed herbs etc.It
turned out tasty enough and we all enjoyed this simple dish.I enjoy all
the handwork that goes into preparing all the veggies and the colour and
flavour they add in the end.
Last night all the watches went smooth with one ship causing us to
change direction just a little.It is also starting to get a bit warmer
and although it has been overcast for the last two days visibilty has
stayed excellent since we left Cape Town.Going up the west coast fog is
a factor one often have to deal with,we have been fortunate and are
moving deeper and deeper into the Atlantic.So all well on this side.
Hope all is well on your side too.
