22 Nov 24.49.33N 20.17.33W Monday's light winds faded completely at sunset and at midnight, our patience exhausted, we started the engine and are now motoring at a steady 5 kts into the darkness and hopefully some wind. By this stage, a few days in, we had expected to be alone with the fleet widely spread due to differing boat speeds and strategies. However the navigation lights of two of the other boats are visible and we can tell from our instruments that they are about 6 miles away. Oddly reassuring.
