Malua has come 1076 nm from Canaries
We have 1749 to go to Barbados
Today we changed our sailing strategy having expected to encounter stronger wind which did not eventuate we were running with twin headsails.  The change is to a reefed main and a full genoa polled out with George steering the boat.  Our days run was only 93 miles which is about 50 below our average so we will have to make that up over the next two weeks.French flour and only one cup of the Moroccan flour.  The loaf turned out almost perfect (complet – French Integrale Spanish) but it was welcome for lunch which went well with the last of the fish.  We will have to put out a line again.
Dinner was fried chicken breast al la Denny with Whole grain cream sauce.  Just before dinner the full moon rose into the sky only minutes after the sun had set right on the bow.
A magical moment on Malua
