Day 27,

It's possible it' because we are getting closer. But the days seem to be the same and slightly longer. Never mind that we decide the time :D

Wind is coming more behind us now. Tried headsail only. Poledancing on the foredeck in the swell we can probably do without. But the swell was too much for the headsail to cope in these fairly light winds (F4). So now just going with the wind. Will gybe when we get closer. An we really don't want the pole up now as that will probably have us arrive in the dark Saturday night. So going for Sunday instead. Therefore, we go slow.

All is well.
