We decided to go for a broad reach, which meant disassembling most of our lovingly constructed pole erection.This turned out not to be such a good idea, as we started making less ground towards our destination. We realised this by the middle of the night, but we were too tired to make the right decision, or indeed any decision, about what to do. We just left it until morning.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of us are too good at making the sort of mistakes, which with a little effort and thought can be avoided. This was clearly one of those mistakes, so there was a bit of an atmosphere for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, all is well again now. We figured it all out this morning after a few hours sleep and a zooming along again.

En effet la m\u00e9t\u00e9o est un facteur essentiel. Nous sommes partis pour cette aventure en se disant que nous vivrons en maillot de bain une fois pass\u00e9es les Canaries, en fait \u00e7a n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas, nous avons pass\u00e9 la moiti\u00e9 du temps en pantalon et avec une veste voir 2 sous la pluie violente des grains. \u00c7a n\u2019aide pas avoir le moral au beau fixe\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Mais surtout les conditions m\u00e9t\u00e9o modifient la navigation, m\u00e8ne rude \u00e9preuve notre monture, les coups de vents secouent le bateau, tirent de mani\u00e8re irr\u00e9guli\u00e8re sur les voiles, fait battre les \u00e9coutes\u2026 La cons\u00e9quence est une usure rapide voire la rupture de tous ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments dont on ne peut pas se passer, m\u00eame si notre armement de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 est important, il faut g\u00e9rer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>De m\u00eame, les coups de boutoir afflig\u00e9s par les vagues peuvent \u00eatre l\u2019origine de ruptures (on surveille le bateau de pr\u00e8s) et mne rude \u00e9preuve les safrans et le pilote.

Du coup nous avan\u00e7ons moins vite, ce n\u2019est pas bon pour le moral, et avec moins de vitesse nous sommes plus ballott\u00e9s par les vagues. Notre planning est donc constamment rempli de t\u00e2ches de maintenance et de r\u00e9paration.<\/p>\n<p>Autre cons\u00e9quence, comme le groupe \u00e9lectrog\u00e8ne ne fonctionne toujours pas, qui dit temps instable, dit pas de soleil et donc pas ou peu de production \u00e9lectrique par les panneaux solaires, donc on fait plus tourner les moteurs.

The 1st mate and master tactician is getting his inspiration from reading Paul Heiney&#8217;s &#8220;Last Man Across&#8221; &#8211; an account of how he came last in a single handed transatlantic race. While the skipper is reading &#8220;In the Heart of the Sea&#8221; by Nathaniel Philbrick a story of endurance and bravery in the savage sea. It will come as no surprise gentle reader when I tell you that Grandad was on watch when the autohelm decided to stop for a nap. Having leapt out of my skipper&#8217;s hammock to restore order to the electronics ( CTRl-ALT-DEL) &#8211; I find that master mariner has taken the boat on a full great circle route, wrapping my prize tuna line and lure around the rudder. The line that has seen so much action from Porto to Lanzarote. The line that may mean the difference between curry and sushimi for the next two weeks. Oh, the crew can be so cruel.<\/p>\n<p>This, on top of Grandad waking me early, when my off-watch wasn&#8217;t yet over. He was confused again by the simple notion of\u00a0 timezones. I even wrote out a little aide memoire for him to be able to calculate the difference from ship&#8217;s time or GEC, subract two H-ours, to get local time or HAC. This, as you can easily spot provides the handy mnemonic &#8220;G&#8221;o to &#8220;H&#8221;ell in a &#8220;H&#8221; &#8220;C&#8221;art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mailasail.com\/sventerprise\" target=\"_blank\">blog.mailasail.com\/sventerprise<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Pete<\/h3>\n<p>149 miles in 24 hours the best yet! I can&#8217;t see that being matched for a while as the wind has dropped considerably and is forecast to stay light for the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Our electronics threw a fit in the night, causing us to complete a full circle and lose control of the boat. I was on watch and rushed down to the computer help desk. You&#8217;ll never guess what their solution was. Yep. you got it, &#8220;lets turn everything on and off again&#8221; said the off watch tech guru.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say this worked and electronics are fine now. Unfortunately the confusion during the computer fit caused the boat to go round in a circle and catch Captain Bligh&#8217;s fishing line. The more cynical amongst us might say this is no great loss. Despite fish literally throwing themselves onto our deck, old John West has failed to get even a nibble on his expensive tackle<\/p>\n<p>Not much more to say. It&#8217;s 30 degrees, sunny, and we are sailing along nicely, life could be worse on the whole. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll pay for this at some point over the next week or so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mailasail.com\/barnaclepete\" target=\"_blank\">blog.mailasail.com\/barnaclepete<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>About <a href=\"http:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/sail-the-odyssey\/atlantic-odyssey\/rallies-2015-16\/meet-participants\/#Enterprise\">Enterprise<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Haerlem<\/h2>\n<p><em>Left Mindelo today after repairs, sailing to Martinique.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Day 12 &#8211; Sunday 29 November<\/h1>\n<h2>Enterprise<\/h2>\n<p>Distance run today: 169 miles <br \/> Total distance run:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1558 miles <br \/> Distance to go\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :\u00a0\u00a0 1387 miles<\/p>\n<h3>Russ<\/h3>\n<p>The sea has been slight; the sky is blue; the winds light and the temperature today has climbed to a scorching 31 Deg C. Accordingly, and with consummate logic, 1st Mate decided we should put the bimini down so &#8220;we could see the stars&#8221;. Pointing out that it was day time and that stars come out at night did not deter 1st Mate. Further appeals to sanity by pointing to the one gigantic star that will fry your whatever off and which happens to be shining right now also had no impact. The bimini is down and now I am down below. Its too hot to go in the cockpit ! Except for 1st Mate who is stubbornly refusing to admit any error and looks like a sweating marshmallow with factor 50 daubed all over his face.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a disaster in the fishing department. Following 1st Mate&#8217;s deliberate sabotage by sailing the boat over my 40lb tuna line; and using the rudder as a boat hook. I had to cut away 500 ft of precious line and lure &#8211; all gone to the bottom of the ocean. I then used my handy fishing rod. The lures then proceeded to spin around each other forming a tennis ball sized blob of nylon line and hooks. It would make a talking point for a tuna with an artistic bent &#8211; certainly as interesting as an unmade bed &#8211; but for inciting a tuna to have lunch &#8211; perhaps not.<\/p>\n<p>Our pre-occupation on the technical front is power or lack of. We should have about 220A per day to use to power things like auto-helms, chart plotter and so on. But instead we have 36A. This means running the generator and using diesel, more often each day than I anticipated. The increase in temperature would account for some of the increased inefficiency of the battery bank but not all. We have no solutions as yet.<\/p>\n<p>Having past the half way point at 0330 last night, I have been promised a celebration meal &#8211; which does not include the word curry. I had to stop the chef raiding the wine cellar and tipping a bottle of Grand vin de Bordeaux into the stew &#8211; he says I am a &#8220;rosbeef&#8221; and don&#8217;t understand Provencal cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>Menu del dia: Lamb Cooked in Rose Wine with Herbs Provencal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mailasail.com\/sventerprise\" target=\"_blank\">blog.mailasail.com\/sventerprise<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Pete<\/h3>\n<p>So, exciting day today; a record distance run in the last 24 hours, and the passing of the half way point!

Je fais 4 pains avec 1 kg de farine, et cela nous fait pour 2 jours. \u00c0\u00a0tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t!<\/p>\n<h3>Damien: Beau soleil<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/AO1-2015-TiPunch-Damien.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Un petit coucou depuis le milieu de l\u2019Atlantique. Aujourd\u2019hui, enfin un peu plus de calme sur la mer, on est un peu moins secou\u00e9s. Le soleil est pr\u00e9sent avec de magnifiques nuages qui prennent des formes que l\u2019on s\u2019amuse \u00e0 identifier \u2018ici un canard, ici le doigt de Dieu!, ici un lap..(oh pardon, il ne faut pas dire ce nom sur un bateau).<\/p>\n<p>C\u2019est une journ\u00e9e cool, pas de r\u00e9parations, le vent des Aliz\u00e9s nous pousse avec un constant 15 n\u0153uds. Petite s\u00e9ance bronzette \u00e0 l\u2019avant du bateau sur le filet avec un bouquin tout en surveillant le moindre petit remous particulier qui pourrait nous faire d\u00e9couvrir une B\u00eate des mers ! Car, je l\u2019avoue, je suis un peu d\u00e9\u00e7u de la d\u00e9sertification des animaux autour de nous, \u00e0 part les poissons volants, et les quelques oiseaux qui viennent se nourrir \u00e0 des miles et des miles des c\u00f4tes ! J\u2019ai juste aper\u00e7u un dos de baleine et les rejets de son \u00e9vent \u00e0 une centaine de m\u00e8tres du bateau.<\/p>\n<p>Demain sera un grand jour pour moi, car je vais f\u00eater une ann\u00e9e de plus au milieu de ce bel oc\u00e9an. Nous allons f\u00eater cela dignement (le champagne est pr\u00e9vu, c\u2019est du champagne espagnol qu\u2019on m\u2019a conseill\u00e9 \u00e0 Barcelone.) Voil\u00e0 pour aujourd\u2019hui.<\/p>\n<p>Je mesure tous les jours le privil\u00e8ge d\u2019\u00eatre sur TiPunch au milieu de cet oc\u00e9an et \u00e0 ce titre, je remercie et mesure \u00e9galement le magnifique cadeau que m\u2019a offert Farida en me donnant la possibilit\u00e9 de partir pour ce long p\u00e9riple tout en restant \u00e0 la maison avec Victor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>From<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/tipunchcapsurlescaraibes.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">tipunchcapsurlescaraibes.net<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>About <a href=\"http:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/sail-the-odyssey\/atlantic-odyssey\/rallies-2015-16\/meet-participants\/#TiPunch\">Ti Punch<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Mercredi Soir<\/h2>\n<p><em>ETA 3 Dec in Martinique<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Heidi 2.0<\/h2>\n<p><em>Left Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on Tuesday 1 December.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Iris<\/h2>\n<p><em>Stopped in Sal, Cape Verdes, to fix Iridium and computer problems.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Vitavi<\/h2>\n<p><em>Stopped in Mindelo to fix rigging problems.
