What we have been told is this is the area where ships would reach and because there was no wind they would start throwing the horses overboard. Sounds horrible. Makes me happy I'm not a horse. Makes me even happier to know we have an engine.
Yes, after 500 miles of good sailing conditions we have turned on the engine. Pixie Dust barely moves with only 5 knots of wind. The swells are high and the wind is lite. That makes for a very uncomfortable ride. The engine makes it better.
Maybe tomorrow the wind will come back. 335 miles to the Bermuda entrance.
Glad you have an engine! Let me know all the details. I'll be a couple weeks behind you!
