Day 3 Update

Wow the past 2 days have gone by in a flash, I can’t believe we have been at sea for over 48 hours and I have rowed for over 24 of those. We were repaid big time by the weather after 2 false starts in horrible winds we got away at 0700 on Tuesday morning, the sun was just up the sea was flat and the winds were light, pretty much the perfect start. After a bit of slalom through a busy fishing fleet we were 8 miles offshore within 2 hours and since then we have been making good time. Speed has dropped to about 2 knots as we are heading south west with a westerly swell and breeze hitting us on the starboard side. The constant roll makes getting any great speed tough and the clash of oars and banging of shins can get irritating. But within 48 hours we should be down near the Canaries in calmer seas and a few days after that we should be picking up the Easterly trade winds, then we should really get a move on!
