The voyage – 3rd leg

001   The crew of the Jewel ready to sail
002   A rousing send off from the band…
003   and then Jewel slips her moorings
004    A fond farewell to Sri Lanka
005   Jewel is towed out of harbour
006   Three week's sailing through potentially rough seas lie ahead
007   Lowering the palm leaf matting sails
008   A waterspout spotted in the late afternoon
009   Wet weather gear for Capt Saleh and the crew
010   The storm sail gives Jewel speed and safety
011   Ayaz Al Zadjali at the pump and Yahya Al Faraji on the rudder
012   Plastic sheeting helps the crew stay dry while sleeping
013   The constant wetness is hard on the hands
014   The main sail is now being used in the fair weather
015   A solar halo appeared around the sun near mid-day
016   Mylai Prabhakar, Captain Saleh and  Eric Staples work on navigation
017   Lots of hands pitch in to prepare dinner
018   Mylai Prabhakar and Alessandro Ghidoni worked hard to repair the generator
019   A calm, relaxing Friday at sea
020   But rain isn't far away
