Been motoring since 200 hrs last night when the wind died which is a bit of a pain since without the electric autopilot we have to hand steer when there is not enough wind. The engine noise also makes it very difficult to sleep so all are a bit tired today. Nice sunshine though...Other boats are still sitting in rain and high winds.
 
Having to use the diesel now means that we will have to be closer to the Azores before we can motor last bit regardless of the weather which is a shame. Knowing that once close we can make a run for the end is quite a morale booster and vice versa.
 
All for now. Ian asleep and Jim on the helm.
 
Regards from all to all.
