Day 26, June 17, report from ET3, dictated via sat phone
 
I had a very frustrating night, tacking backwards and forwards.  Regardless of which tack I was on I made no headway west.  By the morning I had gone 16 miles south and 8 mile east!  I can only assume it was either the Gulf Stream or a combination of the Gulf Stream and beating into the wind meant i made no miles to windward.
 
Gradually through the morning the wind swung round to the south and now it is a fine sailing day.  I'm rolling along on a broad reach and heading direct to Newport.
 
GOING WEST AT LAST.
