Day 25, June 16, report from ET3, dictated via sat phone

 

Decided to head south away from the lows to south of the Gulf Stream where the winds are predominantly from the south and southwest ... according to the routing charts, this would give free-er sailing (less beating), that's the theory anyway.  Too many storms like yesterday and something important might break.

 

Sailed SSW in 20 to 25 knots of wind all day in bright sun and a very lumpy sea.  In fact the waves are much bigger that you would expect from a force 4 to 5.

 

As the stowaway has more or less walked the plank now, I am waiting for a calmer spell to have a shave.
