There’s plenty of sea around and nothing else in sight. We cleared the Azores during the night, and for a while there were a couple of boats heading the same way, but they’ve now gone their own ways. The wind has steadily increased to force five or so and Irie’s tanking along on a beam reach at seven knots plus. Meanwhile the crew readjust to thirty degrees of heel, noise and general shipboard life.
