Position 39 41.02N 48 44.55W Log reading
13582.8 covered 191.7 miles
Best 24 hours yet but not quite the 200 miles - I
am not sure we will ever hit that. We have had a steady SW blowing at F4-5
keeping us bowling along at 8 - 10 knots for over 24 hours now - couldn't ask
for more. Sun shining, eating and drinking well and still nobody in
sight. One ship last night and porpoises in the dark before the moon came
up leaving the phosphoresence trails all around us. The highlight of the
night watch.
More importantly the 'creak' has been cured and the
ship is all quiet - what bliss. Trimming off the end of a moulding
that was rubbing on the undersurface of the cockpit as the boat flexed was the
cause. What a relief.
The weather looks settled and we are over half way
to the Azores well ahead of schedule so a stop there is likely to stock
up.
