My position Thursday 8th July at 1200UTC is 42 29.4N  24 41.7W
 
The breeze has finally arrived and I am now sailing properly!  Last 24 hour run was 104 miles and tomorrow should be better than that.  At last.  And because there's a decent breeze the temperature has dropped back to a more comfortable 75F, cooler on deck in the breeze.  Yesterday evening I was surrounded by a huge pod of dolphins, leaping and splashing with abandon although completely ignoring me, a wonderful spectacle to watch for about ten minutes.  This morning there are lots of Shearwaters flying around me, but luckily none in the cockpit.
