The sun has made a rare appearance today. So much of this race has been
under the clouds of approaching or passing weather fronts. So it is lovely
to be able to enjoy a bright and breezy day broad reaching down the waves.
In celebration of the sunshine, Trevor's took to his sextant ready to take
over as Navigator.
Given the sea state, constantly pitching and rolling, I'm amazed that he can
hold the thing still enough to take a sight. You might see some interesting
routings soon on our tracker!

Sky looks beautiful. Can't quite see the beard.....!
ReplyDeleteGreat sextant, strategic photograph hiding the badger?
ReplyDeleteThe elusive badger is hiding!! Great photography. There is nothing like the old Sextant to guide your way - it has proven 'accurate' many a time! Lovely to see the sunshine - makes sailing all the more worthwhile! G:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've got a riding turn on that winch, Trev.
