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
