Position at 1930h UTC

 

Wind: 05kts 090˚m

 

After a lovely sail through the night, as forecast the wind has dropped and we are now motoring in 5kts of wind from the east.

 

We are keeping an eye on a low that has formed north of Bermuda which is likely to bring us NW and then N winds as we get closer to the island.  We are currently heading slightly west of track to try and make it an easier course once we get the NW wind.

 

It’s lovely and sunny and apart from a 36ft American boat (called Unique Dream) that we spoke to on the VHF this morning there is nothing around.
