1200UT Position 41:52.3N 21:58.5W

Distance run 1200 - 1200UT: 119NM

1200UT COG 090M, SOG 4.5kts (under engine), wind 260M 4kts, baro 1026 steady

1200UT Temperatures: Air 23, Sea ?

Intention: to sail to Portugal (Leixoes?) (600NM)

After 18 hours sailing at reasonable speeds in pleasant weather, we again resorted to engine at dawn (0605UT) when the wind died. There are now 4 reefs in the main to reduce flogging caused by swell from the NW after another batten slide broke. With a steady barometer and calm sea we wait expectantly for fresh wind probably from the NW or N.

The morning excitement was the sighting of 2 whales which overtook us at a stately speed, one on each side, their passage marked by regular blowing.
