Becalmed

Saturday saw them completely becalmed. Between midnight Friday/Saturday and 1800 Saturday they travelled a distance of 4 miles! Scorching hot apparently and Pete went swimming over the side. They were getting concerned they might have to start shutting down electrics soon, as with no wind to generate the power they needed to conserve the batteries. Anyway, being a good wifey who had checked the weather, I was able to tell them that wind was on its way. By the end of Sunday they should be getting some 3 to 4's ( the earlier predictions of 5s and 6s now not materialising) and if they get a move on they could make Lanzarote before these disappear again on Wednesday. We shall see, as they hadn't yet made it half way.
