Finally it’s May and the weather seems propitious so we’re off. Bound towards Horta in the Azores 2200 miles away. The plan is to go NE since the winds are still from the E until they begin to turn more westerly, then directly towards the Azores.

The boat is full of fuel with extra cans strapped on the deck, full of water and full of stores. I’ll post position reports every day, Sat Phone willing.
