It’s not all about the food – Time for some great sailing!

4th December 2020 By Natasha Lambert

*UPDATE – 29/11/20 – 13:00 – Day 8.*

Hello!! Having an awesome sail, it’s absolutely incredible! Is there anybody out there??? We don’t hear anyone on the radio now and haven’t seen another boat for over 24 hours.

Big seas in the Atlantic.

Watching the ocean and the weather… Lots of clouds and some showers, wind between 15 and 28 knots. Have only seen more flying fish last few hours. The waves tower behind the boat and slap between the hulls. The full moon and moonlight is fantastic. We might gybe today or maybe tomorrow…

Rachel made us special bread rolls yesterday with initials on and Angela made a lemon drizzle cake and as it’s the weekend, we had eggs and bacon for breakfast (but it’s not all about the food) It’s really difficult getting around the boat for me when the wind is strong, but it is funny too, lots of laughter it takes three people to go up and down the stairs with me using a hoist, think everyone has bruises now!

Anyway, it’s great and I am loving it all Natasha xxx”

Five days in the Atlantic Ocean… Blown Away.

4th December 2020 By Amanda Lambert

5 days at sea now…. Exilarating and Quite fresh the last couple of days!

With winds up to 30knots and a top boat speed of 16.8 knots with 2 reefs in main and just a poled out jib.

Thursday’s 24 hr mileage was 184!

Yesterday we baked a chocolate cake as well as fresh bread. We have just dipped under the 2000 mile remaining mark. Had our first flying fish on the foredeck this morning.

The most challenging thing has been getting around the boat for Natasha in these conditions, which is very difficult! , watching the wave pattern and moving as quickly and safely as possible.


The photo was taken at dawn this morning.
