Day 13 -886 miles left to Azores; 32.58;045.29 W

Good sailing here at the moment. 14 knots
of wind in a moderate sea and doing 6 knots. Can’t ask for more than that
It’ll probably get a bit rougher as we get nearer the Azores as there are
a number of low pressure systems crossing Atlantic towards Azores. We hope to get
the wind from these to propel us to Horta which is the capital of the small
island Faial which we are hoping to land on. Its probably the main marina in
the island group. All well on board. Watermaker not working for some reason but
we have plenty of back up water in any case. Just means no showers ‘til
Horta. ! Getting inventive with the menus at this stage but enjoying experimentation
which is mostly working ! Potatoes ,carrots and onions are gone so down to
Pasta, sauces cheese beans etc- all very healthy ! |
