We did not have such a good day today as we blew our asymmetrical spinnaker. The wind was 15-20 knots, but the sea was a little bumpy. This means that our down wind sailing will be a little slower from here on. I don't think that the asymetrical sails were designed for the dead downwind sailing that we were doing. Our main sail got a minor tear in it on the luff, but we have patched it and can continue using it.
Our progress is still good as we are on 574 NM and doing about 7 knots with a small genoa and 3 reefs in the main. The wind is about 27 knots from behind. Our current position is 29deg 56.73'S and 7deg 35.10'E.
Our meals are getting a little more elabourate each day. We had a great fruit salid for lunch.
The kids are well and settling into sailing life. Victor made a really cool lego boat today and Felix was out helping me put in a reef.
