Portsmouth to Cardiff - Day 2
9th June, 2010I have slept off the initial peak of enthusiasm and exhausted Day One’s energy leaving a little dip. Luckily, at 6 o clock this morning, 2041 was joined by a pod of 10-15 common dolphins that were bounding along in our bow waves – demonstrably not short of energy or enthusiasm - wonderfully contagious.
The little wind that there was seemed to leave with the pod so we’re working sail and motor together to stick to schedule. So far, the sun has carried on shining this morning as we past Land’s End and rounded the corner. Our current course, however, is heading towards a rather large grey cloud. I’m hoping the width of the cloud is less than the time before my next watch!
The only really bad news is that the jelly babies took rather a battering overnight. Thank goodness for chocolate digestives.

My class came to visit 2041 today and we thought your boat was amazing. Our school is called Monnow Primary School in Newport. We all learnt lots about rewable energy from the crew which was interesting because last week we held “eco week” at Monnow. Tomorrow we will tell the rest of the school all about your boat and the renewable energy challenge in an assembly. Thank you and good luck to Robert and his team for the rest of your journey!
