We left Fox Harbour Labrador yesterday at 11:30am. There was a nasty low that blew in the day before with 40kts of wind we waited a little longer in the morning to leave to let the seas calm a little. We had head seas around 4m which slammed us around a bit. We were all feeling a little under the weather and poor Capri lost her breakfast. So much for me taking 20 minutes to convince her to eat her peach skin not knowing that an hour later I was destined to toss it over board in a bucket of puke.
We saw a few icebergs out but it was the growlers (smaller bits of ice broken off from icebergs with majority of size under the water) we had to watch out for. Today the swell has calmed down a lot and we are making good time sailing downwind at 8kts. Almost 24 hours down and I'm ready to get there. 600 miles to go and as the girls say 4 more sleeps.
