Sunday morning 10^th 04.13am

Bisher and I are on watch. We passed Elba at 12.35am and are now heading south.

The seas are calmer and SAGA is riding well. The yanmar diesel is running well at a little over 2000 revs. The wind is still on the nose as it has been for most of the trip. We have a small part of the main unfurled, more for stability than anything else.

Yesterday we cooked our first real hot meal on board. Bisher worked the stove, and I stood by giving suggestions. He did not seem to mind, and the result was really good.

Late afternoon Saturday saw a few hours of real sailing, and the wake in the picture above gives you an idea of just how well SAGA performs under sail. The satisfied look on MSKs face shows he is well please with her.

If all goes to plan we are expecting to make a brief daylight call for fuel and then head for Capri. Lets hope we break our record of 8 hours in port set in St Maxime.

Today in SA is mothers day so mom if you read this happy mothers day.

It is now 5.30pm Sunday

We spent the day at Marina Cala Galera see www.marinacalagalera.com  Some running repairs were required. Captain D went up the mast twice, and we needed to make an adapter for the power lead.

We are all pretty bushed after 2 nights at sea so the rest of the day spent resting and we seem to breaking the record.

More news later from SAGA.
