A blisteringly hot sun is up in the clear
blue sky and everyone is quietly sitting in the shade being cooled by the 15
knot wind which is blowing across the starboard side of Allegria. Allegria is
moving gently along, with a quiet rocking motion, crossing this unbelievably
large expanse of blue. Being on a close reach life on board is carried on at 40
degrees which makes living quite difficult especially as this has been the case
for 90% of the journey so far.
We are continuing on an ESE
course to avoid an area of strong winds to the North and West of us and we have
a further 350 miles to go before hopefully turning NE for the Azores.(still some
1700 miles away) No other vessel has been seen for days now, we seem to be
completely alone. We have seen ships on the AIS 10 and 20 miles away but they
only appear on the screen so who knows if they actually
exist!!
