Before we departed from Cape Town, Ryan challenged us to see how many days we could go without changing anything, with regards to the act of sailing. So far it has been about 36 hours since we touched a sail or the Hydrovane (windvane) or anything… tomorrow looks to be similar as long as the wind doesn’t get too much S in it. Big day of boat work, Hugh is in the process of a three day cabin trim fixing mission, I have been fixing surfboards and Mike P has been fixing to do some celestial navigation. All looking more and more relaxed and tanned as the days go on…
