We’re moving along quickly now.  We’ve been caught up by the front end of a front which is giving us plenty of wind from a favourable direction.  We’re doing about seven knots.  At this rate it’ll be three days to Ireland.  Sadly, the wind is supposed to come round unhelpfully at about midnight.  Grrr.  

I have moved my bed to the saloon.  My bunk is, because of the waves, very uncomfortable and wet as well thanks to a hole in the ceiling.  Not right through of course, just in the wood above me.  I have moved my sleeping bag to the bench in the saloon which is dryer and more comfortable thanks to its size, position in the boat, and being dry.  Not to mention next to the heater.  Which is turned off.

The engine has just turned off.  We don’t know why, this should be fun.

Bye.
