drying out & flotilla...

Its much calmer today & its a nice sunny day so gives us a chance to dry out our wet clothes from yesterday. We´re both feeling pretty tired today as it usually takes us a couple of days to get use to our 3 hr night shift plus the bumpy ride last night didn´t help. It looks like we might break our Freefall speed record of 180nm in 24hrs!

We ate lovely Yellowfin Sushi with Wasabi sauce yesterday and look forward to the steaks today, chilled in our new fridge! Its lovely having cold fresh milk for breakfast!

There are plenty of cruisers making this Atlantic crossing to Brazil. Texan Ben on s\v Gypsy Soul who is single-handing, left Hout Bay buddy boating with us yesterday. He is now about 20nm behind us but we can still chat to him on VHF. Cisnecito, Dream Catcher & Argo may be leaving Cape Town in next couple days so hopefully will arrive in St Helena while we are there. And then our other friends on 4 boats have not yet arrived in CT so we may not see them until Brazil but we will all keep in touch via SSB radio twice a day... if you have one, tune in!!
