We have created an air scoop to try and funnel air below and it seems to be working good so far. I am about to go wild and use our Solar shower for the first time, Having showered for the last time 6 days ago and since then have not stopped sweating I need it. It is basic and hung on the deck of the boat so no nudity!! but it is warm so I am told, not that I care at the moment its so hot! I will get back to you on the shower performance!
We are about 3-4 days away from the dreaded Doldrums and are constantly checking the weather reports to look for the best places to cross. If nothing else it may give me some time to read my book, not even had time to open it yet. Have had some great days and nights ploughing across the Atlantic with the stereo blasting out music (no one to complain or disturb out here, except for the masses of flying fish and dolphins! Its very cool!!
Im on mother watch tomorrow so after a long day of cooking on the move 8 hours sleep!!! I cant wait!!!!
As far as the race goes we would hope to be better placed but every time we seem to make gains the next report shows we have lost again, we are working hard and we will improve, dont give up on the Dragon just yet!
well shower time for me, I will be in touch soon
