Speed 4.3 kts

589 miles to go

Frustrating day when wind completely headed us shortly after noon and
dropped to <6kts. After finding ourselves tacking several times on wind
shifts as if it was a round the cans regatta I realised with the windward
mark 650 miles away  that "futile" was an apt description of the current
tactics. So the Donk went on and we motored for 16 hours prior to picking up
the forecasted winds we have at present.

Winds now from ESE at 7-9 knots so close reaching towards Horta at 6 kts in
clear skies.

Galley Notes: Crew ate Skippers Curry, no dsyentry as of 18 hours later.

Fishing Notes: Dixie Tricks Nix

All well onboard
