Well, we have had a couple of wonderful days' sailing. The wind has been kind to us so far, in so far as it has been essentially behind us, unlike the arduous trip into Horta.
 
Our first 24 hour run was of 148 miles and the second was 159.
 
So we are cracking along. e forecast is for a big change this evening, with winds going round to the north, so let's see if we feel quite so chirpy tomorrow...but at the moment we are enjoying the ride!
 
Each morning, we have seen the waterspouts of whales a few hundred yards away, but as yet, no actual whales. This is probably a good thing, apart from the obvious photo opportunity!
 
This afternoon, the sun has even come out.
All well, and position as at 1500 UT is;
 
41 58.300N  22 45.070W
