Well the wind finally gave up this
am-we’ve had a good run of it so can’t complain. Just downloaded
gribs for weather and it tells us that there is westerly wind 15 knots to the
north and south of us. We’re going to engine to the north in the hope
that we’ll pick up that wind. We have to be conservative with the
rev’s as 30 litres of fuel left and we need to have some in reserve to
get into Horta. We’ve got a hose running from the boom which has a funnel
and from there to water tank. The sail acts as a water collector and if the
rain keeps up we might even manage a shower ! 295 miles to go- Sunday looking a
bit dodgy now-if not hopefully Mon in Horta. |
