A very unproductive 24 hours trying to make headway in a catamaran. Just before lunch the front we were expecting finally arrived and gave us a lively time. Now we have the wind shift we were looking for and are making 9 knots, almost directly toward Madeira. 172 nm to go.
 
Last night we again had phosphorescent propoises swiming with us.
