Becalmed! The wind disappeared yesterday evening at
about 18.00 and didn't pick up again until 6.00 am this morning hence a twenty
four hour run of only 63 miles. I think this is going to be a long slog. I've
barely covered 600m in seven days and at this rate it will take a further
eighteen days to complete the journey. Let's hope the more northern latitudes
have some more wind.
I have four hours to advance before I get to Ponta
Delgada to be on their time and so put the boat's clocks forward one hour
last night. That puts me on GMT, or more correctly now, UTC (universal time
co-ordinated) -3, and -4 on UK time.
As it is a special coronation weekend at home, I have
decided to have an easy time and just do what is essential and this evening is
movie night. I have a couple of films downloaded on the laptop, a bag of
pretzels (a low fat snack) and a bottle of orange fizzy drink to
celebrate.
Let's hope King Charles II has a satisfying time on the
throne. |
