3854.5 nm... The Sun has just
arrived... ~147 nm to go... we are doing about 5 nm....
Boy, we need wind!
It has been the eventful night -- with
some complete drifting at the beginning, and some progress after...
A couple of ships took over... It seems that
we are closer to some traffic lines... From now on -- it will
be probably more and more...
I've switched to the 20 minutes interval off (
sleeping ), and the shortest possible 'check time' in between...
At the moment -- we are still motor
sailing... hoping to find some wind... And forecast -- is
not too optimistic... In accordance with weather files I
have -- some wind with the more and more West component shoul
start to appear... But very light...
In accordance with the weather guru
-- 'No wind suitable for sailing'...
Till Monday... Even if I go far, far North, before turning
East...
But since the forecasted wind is very
light, both sources are extremely none-relaible, means that between now
and Falmouth -- we can get any light wind, from any direction...
I do not like that... But what options do I have ?
In current curcumstances -- there
is only one thing for sure, another sleepless night ahead...
But no complains. We are moving, doing our
best.
Talk soon,
M.
