GYBED!!  Finally heading South for the Marquessa Islands.  GPS says 1353 Nm to go, 6 days and 3 hours.  However we have the doldrums and the equator to cross yet so will possibly be experiencing a mixture of conditions in which the wind and rain can come out of nowhere giving us 45 kt winds and driving rain in a matter of minutes!  RADAR watch going to be the key to the next 300 miles or so in order to spot the squalls early and steer round them.
 
Other than that all well on board Die Swaene.   Roast Lamb this evening...
