Atlantic Crossing Day 3
November 17th, 2008
We have made 330 NM in 48 hrs with light winds. Currently flying the large asymmetrical spinnaker and making 7-8 knots. Tomorrow the winds are expected to increase a bit. Michael M won 2 Scrabble games but lost badly at rummy 500. Margi baked bread and Jeri made homemade soup, prime rib and pesto pasta for dinner. The dogs are wondering if the humans will eat all the food. Michael M says “help me, help me, they are roasting beets what kind of a hell ship are we on?” We are on a Swedish watch
system with 4 hour watches during the day and 3 hours at night which rotates us around the clock and gives us time to hang together and get plenty of rest.
