3826.7 nm... gone... and  ~170.1  to go...
 
That was a status at UTC 2235...  
Talked to  the weatherman -- Chris Parker...   Found myself in the middle to the fairtale ---
-- if you go -- managed to motor all the way to Falmouth, from the point you are now -- no wind at all, all way...
-- if you want the wind to sail,  take the 008W longitude, whatever minutes you have now... and go to the North... about 50N you may find some wind... wich will move you to the 006W... and then you have to wait... till Monday, may be Tuesday...  yes,  2018th....
-- he newer mentioned what would happened to me and the boat, if I go left....   But assuming there is the whole Atlantic ahead, this way... not a good option either...
-- also, we did not discussed with him the option to wait untill the wind hit the area I'm now... 
 
And that was my status on 2235...
 
Shortly after our conversation,  I started the motor again... ( I've switched it off  for making SSB radio session clean... ).
It started nicely, I've corrected the course to  Falmouth... 
I was laying on the deck,  between the cockpits... watching the sky...  
It is nearly as deep and as dark as in tropics...  
I was thinking about what I'm going to get in my e-mail(s) as I would get to Falmouth...
I was thinking that it is time to get a bit serious about reviewing the Falmouth chat,  tidal conditions, etc, etc, etc....
 
Stars...  sould on passing warter...  melancholic noise of the engine...  slow progress....
Probably,  I've been thinking about the Falmouth  and my e-mails too much... 
The boat  decided to change the way of  my thinking...  and turned off the engine...
 
It is UTC 2247  our speed  is 0.9 kts... We are becalmed... We are real sailors... ( no engine for now... )
We have  topped tanks with water, we have  generator & fuel,  we  have an engine ( which does not want to run) and  fuel... we have wrenches, manuals,  filtters, etc,.... 
We have food...
 
There is a  wonderful sky on top of us...  Full of stars... 
We are fine,   we are 'sailing'...  or drifting at  this point...
 
Talk to you soon,
M.
