One hundred miles closer to Horta and all is well on
board. One excellent meal follows another, the wind and waves are as predicted,
temperature and humidity have fallen to a more comfortable level and we seem to
be well settled into the watch-keeping routine.
Yael has been busy putting messages into small bottles
and casting them adrift. Some of these notes are from her students.
This morning we noticed some serious chafe damage on the
sheet controlling the self-tacking jib. We effected a repair by shortening the
line and it seems to be holding up. Today's other highlight was the appearance
of a lone seagull four hundred miles from the nearest
land.
