Last night we crossed the track we made in May 16 2013 sailing from St. Thomas USVI to Flores.
Back then we had much less wind and had to motor quite a bit, so much that in order to refill with diesel,
we had decided to stop in Flores. Unfortunately because the crew back then had a plane to catch in Ponta Delgada,
we could not spend more than one night in Flores.
This time we are planing to spend at least few days exploring the beautiful island.



Another gray day with the occasional wave washing in the cockpit making the cushions wet.
Like yesterday, no much sitting outside today. Luckily it looks like after our arrival in Flores a high pressure
is going to establish over the Azores bringing sun !



Speed over ground since leaving Bermuda. Unfortunately we lost some of the data around day 6
