Leg 2 Update

Rona II are running a 3 watch system (on watch, off watch and mother watch). Mother watch works for 24 hours, cooking, cleaning etc. The 3 watches are doing a magnificent job. They are eating far too well and the sparkling ship is still sparkling. Thanks to Leg 1 for leaving a clean ship in good order.

They have had frustrating days where they have run out of wind and wallowed in flat calm seas. But the trade winds have now filled in and they are bowling along under genoa, main, mizzen and mizzen staysail. All crew are fit and well and in very good spirits. They are working hard to make the boat sail fast. Rona II is in the groove and they are having a great sail!
