Making slow progress at the moment.
 
Its eithe one or the other at the moment. Its good winds but its head on so big swell or its light winds. Either way its been slowing us down. We had a few nights of uncomfortable sleeps. Bouncing about alot. In between high winds we have had really light patchs. So onto engine power.
 
Its is now 5pm and we have eventually got the sails out ,good enough wind to power sail.
 
We havent seen any wildlife in a while. Maybe just the occasional flying fish.
 
Its starting to get really cold in the evening now. The first set of thermals have made an apperance and the blanket is back out on the bed. Definitly going to be wrapping up in the evenings now. Sunshine is behind us :(
 
Our estimated day of arrival in Annapolis is now Friday night. Clean down the boat saturday and fly home on sunday.
 
5988nm Done
628nm to Annapolis.
 
Not long to go now!
