Day 2 Report 1

Sat, July 4th, 3:03 am

My shift ended and I am about to take someone else banc.
A little postal card to start this post. The conditions this past 15
hours are shifty (wind is from 225 to 360 degree) and puffy (between 2
and 10 knots). We are currently under genois heading to 225 degree. We
are not expecting a lot of changes for the next 15 to 20 hours.
The boat gets its energy from the engine that we let run couple hours a
day like a generator. We changed the alternator before the start and we
experienced some issue with it today. John has showed his mechanical
talent to fix it while Gary played the Mc Gyver helping.
We had our first homemade dinner last night, chili, and it was very
good. Looking foward to taste the next one (Merci Renee!).

Cheers,
JB

Conditions tres changeantes ces dernieres heures. Nous evoluons sous
genois dans une breeze allant de 2 a 10 noeuds avec des variations de
pres de 100 degres. Les barreurs sont mis a l'epreuve. La journee a ete
ponctuee par le changement du nouvel altenateur par l'ancien, et par un
repas fait maison tres bon.
Voila, il est temps d'aller rejoindre les bras de morphee pour quelques
heures. Retour sur le pont a 7h.

A+, JB
