Afternoon All,

 

Today is our first cloudy day. We saw the beginning of it yesterday evening with a weather front visible to our south, and then when light came, we were in heavy fog. That lifted after a few hours to reveal a grey day. The clouds have also brought cooler temperatures as well. Thankfully, the wind has also picked up and we are now bombing along on a broad reach at 5kt. 54:58.37N 17:11.28W

 

Tonight we’ll be having the last of the fresh food, (chilli con carne, yum) before moving onto the tins and jars from tomorrow.

 

We are benefiting tremendously from the rather unusual weather system we are in at the moment. With highs to the north and east, these are blocking the area of low pressure to our south, preventing it from passing over us yet, and giving us (so far) 6 days of following winds, which is very unusual for this crossing.

 

Best wishes,

 

Hamsi
