Saturday night was a beautiful moonlit seascape giving me a fast down hill ride After my first hours sleep this had turned into a roller coaster while I was asleep and ET was struggling to cope with all the sail we were carrying, she was doing a sustained 9 knots at times, but didn't broach, she's pretty good! I reefed down  to make it more managable and went for another hours sleep while ET roared on.
 
Dawn came beautiful and clear and the wind gradually died leaving me floppig  about and going nowhere.  Looking back it was a good day, the sky was blue the sea was blue and it was WARM. I shed my waterproof trousers and seaboots for the first time!  It was a lovely, my sailing appetite would have been repleat had it not been for the threatening storm out to the west.
 
Yes the storm - Well it seems to have stalled between me and the Azores allowing me to slip further south. It started as a nice tidy round depressoin racing west across the Atlantic. It is now anticipated the back end will stop over the Azores while the leading edge continues on and swings NE. I am now hoping I have got sufficiently south to miss the worst of the first half of the storm. The problem is where do I go next with the back end of the now eliptical storm stuck over the Azores dishing out 65Km/Hr winds (40 mph or 35Kts)? At the moment I am heading south west and about 130 miles west of Lisbon. Not really the best route to the Azore!!!
 
We wait and we watch?
