Yesterday, after getting the storm jib up, I didn’t end up going to bed until after midday so I decided to cat nap until late in the evening............

While we are discussing storms I just want to spare a thought for those who are suffering extreme weather with cyclone Debbie making landfall..........

I will also soon be past the highest iceberg risk.  I know that I talked about Iceberg Ally as the biggest risk............

When I got to the bow the turning block was just dangling there and the preventer line was caught on the bottom of the pull pit (the bow railing) leg, only the pull pit leg was no longer attached to the deck....

Happy Earth Hour everyone!  Even though I am in the middle of the ocean I have switched off all my lights.........

About an hour later, just as I was about to go below I caught sight of an odd off grey/white towery shape on the horizon.....

Most of last night I had winds of 10 knots so I decided to keep the No 1 jib out and the full main sail even though I was looking at going to bed.  I did end up setting a wind alarm on the B and G display to let me know if the winds were over 17 knots....

Fog and lots of it surrounded the boat. It was so dense that the visibility was reduced to below 500m........

I decided given that it has been a week now since Cape Horn and my storm that I would treat myself to a me day.......

I am currently sailing parallel to South Georgia Island and around 300nm to the North of it and will be passing what is nick named Iceberg Alley over the next 2 days........
