Very Close 62 miles to go 39:22.3N 25:51.2W

Not far now And the wind is piping up to give a lively reception. ETA is breakfast time tomorrow providing I can handle the strong winds over Terceira when I arrive and don't have to stand off and wait for it to ease.

This is just a position report as conditions are not good for typing. I will post a finishing time when I arrive and then, once I've slept and showered I will try to write a summary of the trip and answer some of the questions I've been asked.
