We sailed to plan on Sunday 6th May into very rainy
weather with little wind. Its now Tuesday 8th and we are 200 miles
out into the Atlantic at N19.22.28. W59.38.45. There is still no wind and most
of our progress has been made by motoring. We have used 25% of our fuel
already, so now look forward to wallowing whilst waiting for wind as I am
reluctant to burn more diesel with so far to go - all we have got is
frequent heavy showers. We saw another vessel during the night, far off, and
have had a brief visit from two Dolphins. A few minor technical problems but no
real issues. The food however,is excellent!
