17. Day at sea – Glorious weather and good Etmale

Dear Readers,

after the miserable Kreuzerei upwind in the western Atlantic, we seem
being rewarded for it to be honest: For days we have magnificent
Sunshine, only good 1 Meter waves and southerly winds, of us ever
and the shortest route to the Azores moves. Today we have
one-hour period of 145 Miles ersegelt. According to GPS, there are now only 445
Miles to Horta. Flowers, the westernmost island of the group, is
is therefore only about 290 Nautical miles to go before. Slowly, then, can we
die Fender herausholen 😉

The many sun makes you tired. We lie for days only rotten in
Cockpit, read, sunbathe and watch us slowly into the waves. We have
yesterday already considered, every day to drink a sip Antifauling,
to act contrary to our Rumgegammel. The boat sails just
completely by itself. Only the night wind revolves mostly around a few
Node on, so we did yesterday, for example, the second reef in the United
bind and Genoa had to roll away half. Gray with the dawn
then it usually is not only the morning, but the wind, and we can
again set full sail, with 6 Node to the east sailing.

Position ist 39 11.9 degrees' N, 038 11.9 degrees' In. If we were still a degree
further west, that would be a funny coincidence.

As far as from here. Beautiful Friday evening to all of you at home (I hope, I
vertue not just me in the days of the week …) and best regards!

Your John
