Position 21 34.2N 38 15.2W
Distance to finish: 1371 miles
All is well. Earlier today we crossed the half way mark. Now
counting down not up and days remaining are (should be) in the single digits.
Very encouraging. The next milestone is to break the 1000 mile mark, which
should occur sometime early Friday. Psychologically it is much more soothing
not to consider this one very long trip but instead a series of shorter ones.
We continue to sail in the very typical trade-wind conditions… Easterlies 15 -
20 kts with an occasional squal to keep it interesting. Sunny and hot today (82
degrees).
Mahi-Mahi onboard….yes we landedour seconf fish today
(60cm), Already filletted and ready for tomorrow nights dinner (conditions
permitting).
At present there are no boats in sight but do have two
showing up on the AIS.
Diinner last night was roasted chicken with pesto pasta and
roasted fresh carrots…very nice.
We crossed the 37th meridian today so we once again set out
watches back. We are now only 3 hours from EST.
We heard the Patriots lost…too bad…but Benfica won….nice!
Until tomorrow
