Speed 6 knots. Course 350 deg Magnetic.
562 Miles to go to Bermuda
Last night the winds were a very light 5-7 knots of NE winds. Very slow sailing at night doing 3-4 knots. This afternoon the wind picked up quite a bit and it is now 18-20 knots from the NE. Not a very nice wind direction when we want to travel North! It is quite rough and bumpy and we are sailing on a close reach with a 1 reefed main and staysail. We are 20 degrees off course again but still the forecast shows that the wind will shift to the West in a few days time. Planning on then tacking back on course to Bermuda. Right in the middle of the Bermuda triangle now! All good onboard.
