3946.1 nm...  gone.   According to computer -- we are ~52 miles  from the turning point to harbour...
 
Still motor sailing....
The night brough some wind... not enough to propell the boat,  but enough 'to stabilise ' our motor sailing,  and to add a couple of kts...
 
Somewhere NNW of us -- the first real UK land mark,  Bishop Rock..., and ahead, about 6 hous -- the Lizard point...
 
My major concern now -- the amount of fuel, and  the amount of wind... Ironically, I can do nothing about neither of them...
Interesting enoug, why are people picking items to worry  about,  which they can do  nothing about, at least at the moment ?
Is it a sign of some something ?   Like super tightness ?  
 
I'm still pushing, and I'm still rushing... For the reason unknown, actually. 
 
Because  the trip has been already too long?  If I take the whole distance from Antigua -- it woul be approximately the same distance as I have travelled before with the boat...  But in two legs, now...
 
In the past,  each previous passages were the pretext to next one,  longer one ---  RI & Norfolk and Norfolk & BVI, for example...
I still remember the passage from USVI  to St. Martin... my first 'famous' beating againg the wind,  ~115 nm...,  I remember that 'interesting night' ... But now  -- it is causing a smile... ;-)
If the pattern keeps holding, what is the next destination ?  ;-)  Do not want even  to think abou it...
 
Early morning... Appearance of  the Sun...  no birds, but  radar shows a plenty of ships... small ones, like fishing boats...  Some are seen by the nacked eyes...
No AIS... though the big ships -- are shown by AIS alright...
 
We are moving, we are progressing.
Talk later,
