We are still doing well - This afternoon, on Hannah's watch, we did a
record run of 26.4nm in 3 hours. Its sunny again (hooray) and we are on a
close reach on our way to Horta in the Azores. We have 500nm to go so we
still hope to get in on Sunday pm. The current plan is to stay just one
night and get all our jobs done on Monday so we will hopefully retain our
sea legs.
We are sailing amongst literally hundreds of portuguese men of war.
This morning we had a pod of dolphins swimming with us and playing in our
bow wave - great fun. We also spotted a turtle today.
The Azores are supposed to be a great whale spotting location, fingers
crossed.
That's all our news for now.
