Today has been a good day. Our first 24 hours since leaving La Gomera saw us logging 171 miles. We have been reaching in 20 to 25 Knots from the east on a course of 220.
 
It has been sunny and fairly warm, though this evening we have a little light cloud, and a resulting steely grey sea  - not unlike the North Sea except the water's warmer...now about 21 degrees.
 
We have been in regular VHF contact with our friends on Win2Win, though have not seen them today as they are about 8 miles behind us.
 
We cooked a pork, vegetable and green bean stew for lunch and morale is ok on board.
 
All well
