25/07/12 - Lord Nelson

Watch-AS.

Sunset on the bridge at 8.30 pm whilst on the 8-12 watch. Relaxing day, still sailing, 10th in the race, favourable winds persist. Set some sails but still had time for climbing to the top of the main mast starboard side as well as some fishing off the aft of the boat, no fish so far. Unlike yesterday did not see any whales or dolphins.

Looking forward to finishing the race in the early hours of tomorrow morning, we should see land some time tonight. It was a reasonably cloudy morning but sun burnt through by early afternoon. Usual good fare from the galley and brilliant medical care as always from Mark, and Lesley is a LEGEND.

Cadets doing well, apart from Euan. Bring on tomorrow and the finish line!!!! By Kat and Shannon xoxox ly   bv....
