the cabin's beginning to smell a bit funny. we've been confined down below for about two days aside from brief sail changes and course corredctions because these bloody waves are continually soaking the whole cockpit! what towels and waterproofs (ha! they get away with calling them that?!) aren't wet through we want to keep in a state of mere lingering damp.
 
making excellent progress directly towards Horta, occasional shipping seen, no more dolphins yet. first blue skies for a few days today, so hopefully we can alter course for a few hours to keep the boat a bit drier and get everything out to air (especially my sheets and pillow which have had a good few mugfulls through the side of the main hatch.
