Spirits High Atlantic Ocean Flat

 

Sailing towards the Sargasso Sea the FCS crew on Challenger 2 are looking foward to wind that approaches. So what are they doing to keep themselves busy? Skipper Neil reveals all in this blog…

In It For the Long Stretch

New weather today promises an end to our motor sailing, it will be replaced with 25 – 30 knts from the ENE, this looks like it will be with us for a few days, we have changed down to Y3 and will keep the 2nd reef for now.

Crew are happy with yoga and aerobics going on on deck. There is some excitement coupled with a bit of apprehension ahead of tomorrow’s exiting sailing.

Our weather remains very inconsistent a heading of N for a day or so in the hope that the large high at aprox 39deg dissipates or at least moves further west or east allowing us to sail a more easterly course on the front or back of it, if it doesn’t then we will have to tack to make our necessary heading before we get into the 35 deg.

Neil, Skipper, Challenger 2
