1564.5 nm  done. 
Over the last 24 hours -- we covered 175 nm,   
and that seems to  be the best so far...  
But the wind is still there...  and we are speeding 
up...  
A delicate dilema now -- there is  a cold front 
somewhere infront of us within 24-36 hours...  I hope Chris calculate 
its sourthern border right,  and  I hope I calculate my 
'climbing'  -- gaining latitude -- speed right... and we would avoid 
meeting together... ;-)  
As typing -- for the next hour or so -- the boat is doing 
above 9 kts... Anybody gives 10 ?    
It is amazing how the boat is doing...  I can see now 
why SWAN 57 -- predecessor of my boat -- has such a success as a racer... 
 
Combination of speed and swell -- making the ride 
feels  as the  airplane turbolence... But no heeling...  
Just a bit of movement and corrections as tne swell  hits...  
Everything OK.  Hopefully, will catch some sleep 
during the day.... 
Have a great day, 
M.
