Remarks: After 13 days in Reunion the crew is happy to be getting back out to sea. Clara overhauls the main topmast staysail halyard block strap. Sara works on ratlines, Kate primes the windlass. Rachel works on the new lower topsail. Knife sharping workshop to be held at 1615. A beautiful sailing day at sea. Small seas and blue skies and a sweet wind on the port quarter – not bad at all.
