Position 28:53.3N 066:11.1W 2045 GMT
Speed 4-5 knots. Course 035 deg Magnetic.
225 Miles to go to Bermuda
Again very light winds at night but at midnight the wind picked up from the NW. Initially at 12 knots and then steadily increased to 20 knots. We were humming along at 7-8 knots till 10am this morning on a beam/close reach. It was quite bumpy with seas from all different directions. Very wet on deck. Since then the wind has eased and backed and we are sailing on a close reach doing about 4 knots. Slow road to Bermuda! Seems to be also a 0.5 knot current going against us. Still in the middle of the Bermuda triangle! All good onboard.
