Persephone... Cruiser/Racer

Nigel & Karen Goodhew...

Sat 24 Jun 2017 10:00

Yesterday was an interesting sailing day. We started on port tack, were being headed progressively, but tacked about midday UT. Then had a fine evening session sailing close to the rhumb line for Horta and even slabbed in a reef at night.

This morning,the wind is lighter, the effect of the persistent west bound current is more noticeabe and we are struggling to make 4 knots.

Have just seen a pod of whales though....and waitig for some sunshine to dry the boat out a bit....the weather is drizzly rain.

Hey, Ho!

428 miles to go. 10 UT.
