Computer says -- we made 388.1 nm...   Well, it knows better... ;-)
 
Still no wind. Consequently -- 'motor sailing', in desperate attempt to catch each puff of air coming...
But the we are leaving the trade wind belt, for sure:
-- first, there is less grass in the water;
-- secondly,  since yesterday afternoon -- the puffs of wind started to appear from the port side... Is it pretext from Westerlies?  (Or did I have just turned 180 degrees, without noticing?! Have to double check... )
 
Changing sails  becoming more and more  automatic...
Rolling yankee in,   set genaker,  remove main... then  remove genaker, raise main, un furl yankee...  Couple sets per day... 
Between -  pull the fishing line out,  clean the grass,  put the fishing line back in the water...
I guess, I can skip the gym.
 
Besides that --  yesterday was the day of telecom.  The sat system -  not working well, really. At least for me. It is only in Hollywood movies, the guy picks up the sat phone at any point on the Earth and connects to computers...  The reallity in the Ocean -- a bit grim...
 
The bottom line -- I learned a couple of things:
-- all the installation of that wonderful device on my boat; till all wires...
-- we are still far away from the artificial intelligence;  ( based on the software progrmamming level I've observed...)
-- I should treat each e-mail sent as a miracle, and enjoy the moment... rather then take the fact that e-mail should be sent on first attempt for granted. 
-- the starting point of building a good and successful telecomunication system --  the billing system and a set of  billing plans!  Actually, you do not need anything else...
 
Oh, ye... Besides all that above...
-- we are still maintaining the course 39M, hoping to overun the High ridge, and to be on another side of it as quickly as possible. But I doubt it will happen before Sunday afternoon...
--  artificially holding the speed of about 4.5-5 kts...
 
All for now,
