3618.7  nm...  About 300 nm to destination, on  a straight line... And  the wind just along that lite in our face...  Good wind though!  But in our face...
 
We have been beating the whole day...  Or, more correctly, we have been beaten the whole day...  Depending,  from wihch point you are looking  for...
I've gotten so used to move about the heeled boat,  that I'm afraid that when it becomes straight again,  I will fall down...  We will see...
 
Just finished conversation with Chris over SSB...  The plan is -- to keep moving over night  towards  France,   which is about 200 nm ahead...  ( France is about 200 nm ahead!!!!   I knew that...  But when Chris said it with a causual voice... I suddenly got finally the feeling  that it looks ilke we  crossed the Atlantic. ).
As we are moving towards the France,    the wind should veer...  The expectation is -- sometime tomorrow morning, first half of a day...
 
At this point, we have to tack, and start to move N, or NNW...  the worst  NW...  In plain English,  we have to start to move towards the Southern Ireland!  ;-)
Look lke no matter what I'm doing -- I'm targetting Irelrand... ;-)   And then try to go as much North as I can and as less West as I can... And then cross the fingers to get the right wind....
 
At the moment - my biggest concern -- I started to see more and more ships around... And my understanding is - I'm going to see more and more as we progressing...
 
Besides that --- everything is under control.  I'm trying to get as much rest as possible... delegating most of the job to the boat.  And she is taking a good care about us.
 
That is all for now.   ( I've started to put some notes about 'those men ( and women ) in sea',,, abaut sailors I met on Azores... But due to the boat movements, it is really challenging to type now... So, has to wait... )
 
Have a great evening,
Talk to you soon,
