Not much to tell today – nice spinnaker run all day – first off to the east, then we turned dead downwind and headed north east, towards Horta. For the night, we took down the spinnaker and have ended up wing on wing with genoa pole to starboard and both jib and full main to port.
As of noon today we’ve travelled 1930 miles at an average speed of 6.7nmph we have 747 miles to go (if we followed the rhumb line) and we have used the engine for just 20 hours – 7.1% of the time. Not bad!
Still no bloody fish!
We caught fish crossing in 1980 but in 2008 the only fish landed was a flying one in the cockpit
I ate him for breakfast on principle
Coming back across in 2016 we caught two mahi mahi
I think there less fish in the sea nowadays
Following your passage! Sounds like you’re doing well tackling the obstacles! Enjoy the Azores. Maybe next year for Pratique!
