Day 10 - Puerto Mogan to Antigua

After a couple of days of good wind the wind has now died again. We had the engine on yesterday afternoon to charge the batteries and then overnight as there wasn't a breath of wind. We are now just about sailing along with the main and cruising chute up but think it is going to be a slow day!! Spinnaker pole is fixed and seems to be working well.

We saw our first ship in 4 days last night and also a large yacht that was motor sailing and got quite close to us but weren't answering their radio??!!

We have had abit of a change around of the watch systems and it seems to be working better. Roo now gets a full nights sleep and then does the majority of the watches during the day whilst Jonny and I do 4 hour watches in the dark. Before we had Roo doing a night watch and Jonny and I up for 2 hours each with him which wasn't working for us as Jonny and I weren't getting enough sleep.

Distanced traveled on Day 10 - 118 miles
Total distance traveled - 1106 miles
We should be at the half way point by mon :)
