Hi All
MF
After a couple of days in Horta we sailed 150 miles to
Ponta Delgado to pick Rob up. He flew in arriving 23:30
Wednesday, after doing food shop and topping up with Diesel we left
on our final leg across the Atlantic. I must at this point confess that I
hadn't informed everyone of my change of plans and I know my good friend Tom
Jones is a bit concerned of my navigation skills expecting us back in the Med
shortly to find us heading North, worry not Tom I have an increasing list
of maintenance issues to deal with on Tikka so have decided to take her home to
the UK for a couple of months.
Heading North Our First 24hrs as expected we had no
wind have just picked up a 10 knot breeze the Sun is shining and we
have the asymmetric spinnaker up going well. By 19:00 the wind had picked up to
around 15 knots so we decided to put the asymmetric spinnaker away for the
night.

Meanwhile Malin and Augustin have started preparing our
food for the evening which we are told is going to be beef
wellington. |
