Boris from Alligator SLO 747 (SERBIA) 1000CEST
“Getting on fine, 40nm from Messina Strait, 25nm off the coast. We have light winds of around 6 knots, but doing 5 knots in boatspeed. We had some problems yesterday, tearing our gennaker and a spinnaker, but we’ll carry on and both will be OK.
Our watch system is working well and spirits on board are good. Everyone is up at the moment. We had some cheese sandwiches for breakfast, and soup last night because it was cold. We can just see the base of Etna, but the rest is in cloud”
