Perfect sailing for most of yesterday ccovering lots of miles but the wind died at 3am this morning and we are motoring - "a painted ship upon a painted ocean".

Yesterday's historical note was a bit off; Nelson did have a btte at Cape St Vincent but it was, of course, at Cape Trafalgar that he received his fatal wound. We will pass the spot during the next 24 hours. 36:44.04N 07:42.94W
