All going well

 

We are 788 mls West of Cape Verde and we have 1300 mls to go to Martinique

We are keeping the same 276 magnetic heading and the wind varies between 12 and 26 kns from the East or East North East. Speed averages approx. 6.5kns

Motion has a good roll (Kay terms it bucking bronco)even with the twin headsails (Geniker poled to port and genoa poled to starboard)

We’re running the engine 3 hrs a day for power

When we get nearer we shouldn’t have to use the water maker and second fridge so much so the power usage should reduce

 

Tom’s cooking corn beef hash tonight

Smells good
