At last the winds are on our side. Even though we have still had a bit of swell it is more behind us so pushing us along aswell.
 
The winds have picked up and stayed steady all day. Making really good progress today. Done 90nm already and it is only 11pm. 9hrs left  for our 24hour period.
 
We have been steaming along at an average of 7-8knots.with only 2 reefs in the main and jib.
 
Rob made us tea tonight. throughout the entire trip we have never had mushrrom and spinich risotto.This was the first time and it was realy nice.
 
We only have about 3-4 meals left on the boat now so we cant be much longer at sea than saturday. Otherwise its ceral for lunch and tea :)
 
The last cup of tea has been drank this evening as we are now completly out of sugar, only a small amount of hot chocolate left now aswell.
 
We should be arriving at Newport news on thursday evening, so burger time and a chance to re-fuel before heading straight to Annapolis!
 
6209nm Done
Only 440nm to Annapolis!
