I'm heading for 20..01n 62..03w at 30 degrees and it sez I shd be there in 8 hrs at this 5-6 knots motorsailing.  Very light winds in fact almost none at all.   

I subscribed to Predictwind, and it's predicting plenty of the stuff.  Perhaps I should have looked for PredictBreeze?  I've told the software that I'm headed direct to Lanzarote, which usually takes around 3 weeks.  Predictwind finds longer term forecasts, and then suggests a route.  Well, actually, it suggests a very detailed full route but based on the iffy long term forecast - the forecast can (and often does) change.  Anyway, it sees a big scary gale in 10 days or so and wants me to go around in a circle for a few days to let it pass.  But of course the forecast that far away might be wrong.  Or not.  I guess I'll find out.  

Sew Nauti Upholstery finished the cockpit cushions and crew covers, very smart.  I'll post some pix or I think they've got them up on Instagram.  Yeah, red/purple cushions but the crew covers are beige.
