Passage from Bermuda to Azores Position: N35:48:8 W049:21:8

Bermuda to Yesterday was a very pleasant day. We motor sailed for 5hrs
and got the engine off well before lunch – a few hours ahead of the gribs.
The breeze built during the day to 10-12k from the SSW giving us a nice fast
beam reach in flattish and comfortable seas. Maintained an easy 8k under full main
and slightly rolled genoa all night. Skys mostly cloudy just now but showing signs
of clearing from the south. We are now heading ESE and will continue this
course to around 35N to try and stay below the worst of the oncoming low. Expect
to continue much like this for the next 24hrs, in a slightly building breeze. All
very quiet on the AIS and the wildlife front with no visual sightings except
for the weird animals described earlier. Date and time: 19th May 2016; 09.15 GMT Position: N35:48:8 W049:21:8 24 hr distance: 163M |
