Another day done. Sailing mostly excellent with moderately strong winds on the starboard beam - our fastest point of sailing. One drawback of handsteering is that there is no shelter from the weather - with the autopilot on, the person on watch can hide under our hard top nice and snug. But without it the person on watch cannot leave the wheel, so if it rains you get wet. Or rather, I do. I don't think it has rained yet while Alison has been steering. I got wet again last night, twice, while she was fast asleep in the warm and dry. Here I am in a squall (Alison taking the photo from the dry, of course). It's just like being in Wales, only slightly warmer.

Anyway, good progress. Less than 350 miles to go now. If the wind holds (unlikely) then we should get in on Sunday afternoon.
