Last leg of enjoyment, LO300

During the last leg, there was very little if any wind. The boat was creeping along, and without a spinnaker it made it extra slow. So we enjoyed some refreshments, home made stuffed peppers thanks to my wife Roxane. We watched a movie on the TV, while the on watch crew was enjoying the movie that was being broadcast on the chart plotter as well. A few tunes in the evening and we eventually made.

Roxane was busy for 2 days preparing all the meals. Pre-cooked pasta, and home made everything including meat sause, chilli, stuff peppers, and cevapies. We had breakfast sandwiches, english muffins with eggs and bacon. Roxane had prepared breakfast sausages but I forgot to put them on. Over all we were well taken care of in the food department.
