Race Day 4

Wind was lighter today. We had the spinnaker all night long and we are still running it.

Today we also charged the batteries for the first time. We are having some problem with the generator, but we managed to get some juice in the batteries. Since we were running the generator, we also turned on the water heater and all took some warm showers. That was welcome after being exposed to ocean water the first night out. We also turn on the water maker to refill our drinking water also put some in the tank. We generally don’t drink the water from the tank.

We run watches as follow: 2 hours on, 4 hours off. It is difficult to maintain any sleep pattern, but Karine seems to be happy:
