Wow 2 weeks gone already. Just after I hit send
yesterday all changed. The wind started out of the North and helped knock the
swell down. So with 3 reefs in and the jib at 1/2 we were able to move along
overnight at about 5kts.
1730 hrs.
The wind dropped out and we have been motoring
for a while, but there is hope I see a breeze picking up out of the
West.
Looking at GPS and plotter it looks like 1087mls
to Horta 1066 is half way and we should do that tonight.
BTW (by the way) Melvin destroyed another cup
he's so dainty.
The atomic glue repair to the stove failed at
2100 last eve. So with a few ropes we secured it til daylight. Today the glue
repair was replaced by a more secure self tapping screw and we are now
back in business.
I got an e-mail reminding me of a quote from
our Skipper "I'd never own a bloody boat in the Irish sea". Well yesterday
I heard something I never thought I would hear on the Henry Wood.
"I need to charge my I Pod"

The Old Man and the Sea
 1745 hrs.
Back under sail at 41\2 knots in a very
comfortable sea. I think the first this
trip.
