The pictures went.
I should have pointed out that you can actually see a back lit squall in one of them.

We’ve been sailing all afternoon into a NW Force 6 and making reasonable progress.

It’s really irritating to look East (Astern) and  North (Starboard) and see great patches of blue, while ahead to the West and South is nothing but grey.  No sunset tonight.

Dorodo pie for diner.

The wind has carried on but keeps going WNW. There are enough gaps in the clouds for some really bright moonlight.  It will be full in another three days or so.

We’ve been motoring since 6:30.  The wind is  only a few knots on the nose.  I had to wear sun glasses in the cockpit at 9:00 this morning. What a surprise.

Today you could believe we’re in the Pacific.  Warm and Sunny.  Yesterday’s run was 158 miles, ¼ under engine and ¾ under sail. 580 miles to go so we’re well over halfway.
