Looking forward to a full nights sleep and a shower!

Day 3

Hi everyone,

It's been a really frustrating few days just trying to keep the boat moving in Very changeable conditions but all our hard work seems to be paying off.

We have been able to maintain about 4kts of boat speed for the last 10 hours with some very careful trimming.

Steve, the skipper, is working us hard but what ever gets us to Lisbon quicker is fine by us.

No one got much sleep last night with a couple of spinni gybes one spinni peal and 2 headsail changes so we are hoping to catch up on our sleep during the day today.

Hello from Diana!

From ONDECK Atlant...

After a slow start and a drift to The Needles (we went out facing the wrong way) the wind seemed to be picking up but to our dismay after 2 hours of constant breeze it droped down to 4 knots again.

However, crew moral is high and everyone is looking forward to getting some sleep.
