OK, we've made it to 4N but there is a noticeable lack of wind (I can see my reflection when I look over the side, not bad following a beard trim) and an alarming dent in our fuel supplies, fuel is now being rationed for charging only and we have been becalmed for 24 hours managing to make about 40miles through a combination of wave action and current. Slept most of the night with the wind alarm set to 7kt to wake me up - not a peep from it all night.
Its a bit hot but I compensated by spending three hours in the water yesterday cleaning and inspecting the hull. improved boat speed by .2kt ... and the hull looked fine alleviating concern over one source of the amount of water accumulating in the bilge despite minimal rain and upright sailing? Also shifted the main bilge pump forward one compartment so at least I can remove most of the aforementioned water using the electric pump while the engine is running. Still becalmed today so my next job is to properly mount the solar panels to reduce the need for charging with the engine. It does a reasonable job of keeping up with demand between about 7am and 5pm so its worth the effort. The job has been made easier by the regulator falling off the back of the solar array. The glue melted in the heat the other day, must read the instructions again, perhaps I'm not supposed to leave the thing in the sun?
Breakfast time now - more bananas - minimum per head banana consumption is 8 per day or you don't get your rum ration.
If there is nay chance of an air drop of supplies, we're running short on diesel, beer and red wine. Banana and coconut supplies will last until August.
