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.
