Another beautiful and fast last 24 hours of sailing, with 170 nm sailed distance at an average of near 7 kts.
Winds are stable from the east varying from 11 to 14 kts and the sea is calm. The sailing was very smooth allowing to resume our books reading.
We also finished the Mahi-Mahi and the lure is back in the water for some more blue water fishing.
Weather for the next days looks also very good with the winds turning to the south just in time for the crossing of the Gulf Stream.
The engine has been starting just fine now, and we checked the water level of the wet-cell batteries (one check I forgot to do while in Red Hook).
The level was a bit low but all plates were still covered by water. We re-filled with distilled water, just in case.
So all very good, the only request is for a bit more of sun shining since the sky today, like yesterday, is overcast.


Emacs!

 Winds speed in the last 24h.

Emacs!
