A good 24 hour run with 176nm covered. Yesterday we
had dolphins around the boat. Proper large dolphins, not small porpoises. Today
is lovely and warm although there is some cloud about. We have a 2m swell behind
us which is giving nice surfs.
We are heading SW and should pass east of Madeira
tomorrow. Our game plan is to get sufficiently south that we can head west south
of the tropical low forming mid Atlantic. Although this will put us in light
airs requiring us to motor, it is preferable to struggling in the 40-50 knot
winds that will be in the low. We shound be able to make more westing once we
reach 27N.
