WHERE ARE THE ALIZEES??? Someone must have "stolen" the Trade Winds! The wind dropped during the night and we now only have 10/14 kts true. It will be a slow day...
 
1299nm to go to our destination. It looks like this will be a long passage...
 
Overcast this morning with some sun shining through the clouds.
 
Mike is making new lures with pieces of wood, hard wire and colourful ribbons. Maybe we will be lucky today? He has also started repairing the spinnaker but we are not sure we have enough thread onboard as 250ft of it is needed!
 
All well on board.
