We are getting tantilisingly close
to the Azores now, reading about 420 nm to Horta. Over that past couple of
days there has been little wind and had been trundling along at a little under 5
knots. However, we are currently goosewinged, bombing along at 7-8 knots,
which has lifted spirits. I finally managed to catch something on the
fishing line but it broke. So it must have been at least 200lbs, probably
more.
Other than that, we are all looking
forward to drinking the island dry of gin. Hopefully the next blog entry
will be from Horta and we will all make a concerted effort to make sure it is
typed before the pub.
