After motoring for 48 solid hours, just after 1400 L (watch-change) the
wind suddenly arrived, Westerly at 12 kts. Main up, both motors off and in
dignified silence and (at the monent) an almost flat sea we're sailing at 6kts +
a bit over the ground. Last 24 hours we covered 132 nm so still on track for a
Monday arrival. Things may, of course, change.
