We steamed through the night and had a fresh 28 knot breeze behind us which made it a little lumpy at times. Toby started the first watch at 20:00 after a delicious supper, Wilson remained in the wheel house to keep an extra eye out. Harry and Noah went to bed with Noah on watch next at 23:00. Once Noah went on watch Wilson decided to get some shut eye too. Harry emerged to take over at 02:00 allowing Noah to go back to bed. Wilson joined Harry on watch (Harry isn't a fan of the dark!). The sea got calmer as did Harry as light began to creep up on us at about 03:30! Toby took over from Harry at 05:00 for the last watch until 08:00.
We all emerged around 09:30 to a very grey but calm start which then began to clear in time for breakfast at 10:30 - Noah insisted on bacon and eggs, again - Harry cooked.
We have had the tide with us most of the morning and have been charging along at 10 knots - we have about 20 gallons of fuel left per engine (and plenty spare in the rear locker). Hoping to be in Hartlepool by 15:30, and looking forward to having some peace and quiet from the drone of the engines.
