We’ve been underway for three and a half days. There has been very little wind and a rolly sea. We enjoyed a gentle sail yesterday afternoon with a full suit of sails, and we’re gradually falling into the routine of watch-keeping, engine room checks, eating, doing the Stuff Quiz, and trolling a fishing line.
As far as food goes, I’m so glad I cooked meals and put them in the freezer. It really is a challenge to cook and serve a meal when the ship is rolling. On the first night at sea, we had a vegetarian pasta dish, the second night was chicken tortilla soup, and last night we had a beef casserole with couscous. The kingfish that we caught yesterday went down well with lemon and coconut milk and some sashimi with soy sauce and Wasabi. Lunches have been toasted sandwiches, wraps and leftovers.
A chocolate chip cookie always goes down well with a cuppa, and we’ve been drinking lots of tea. The other snack of choice is Gummi Bears.
Such is life on board. It’s a 1700nm passage to St Helena. We’ve got 1165nm to run.
