800miles to go
Wind now N5. We had a big 120deg windshift at 0400. The wind then went light, leaving a very confused sea. We had to motor for about 4 hours. However, the wind has now filled in again and we are again romping along....but on the port tack.
It is grey, misty with occasional drizzle. The temp has dropped to 19deg C. (We might just turn back and return to warmer climes......... only joking)
Had radio contact with Swedish yacht Christina which is also 35' long and also headed towards the Azores.
