A quick update, just for the record...
We have tacked, targetting NW now... 
A bit earlier then planned... But the boat decided to tack.. and tacked...
I checked -- and indeed, the wind changed...  veered...
So, we tacked... sailed for 20 minutes... and the  wind started to back... ;-(
But we are still on the same, starboard tack,  for a moment... Targeting Ireland... ;-)
With the current prediction of the winds for the next 3-4 days... taking into the assumption the absence of wind during the second part of Friday...
Our landfall is expected to be not before Sunday... If not Monday...
Look like the longest 300 nm... ( in straight line... )... ;-(
 
It would be fun to watch our approach, that is why I'm updating on that tack.. .
