Day 2, neck and neck race with Katie Miller
Self-portrait Day 3, the weather improves
Becalmed for the first time Bobbing up and down
Down wind surfing New boat records: 18.57 knots and 204 miles in 24 hours
And we keep on surfing Carpenters workshop on Jager: repair on the rudder tube
Dolphines around the boat We float past a fulmar
On average we saw 3 cargo ships per day When it’s cold; pancakes with bacon and golden sirup
Sailing through the night The wind stays light and variable
Nice skies Over and over an other sail set
The favourite Code O Sliding across the ocean
Repairs to the Code O, after the halyard broke We need the charts again
