We now have a full crew had a man over board drill I was the Rescue one so was hoisted over the side. Moored up for a while and Laura Carl and I went for a swim off the beach. I made a sweet potato and chick pea spinach curry for dinner. Then at 5pm we set sail for our next destination. This meant an overnight sail. Carl and I were on Kieran’s watch with Marianne. We covered the watch from 10pm til 1am then 4am til 7am luckily we stayed dry and missed the rain....
