Pixie Dust Sails

Almost 30 hours of motoring brings us north enough to sail. The sails are set wing and wing and we are sailing east at 5 knots. The boat is quiet again, sleep tonight will be peaceful.

The last two days we have been visited by Dolphins 3 times, we have disturbed a few Sea Turtles basking in the sun and were passed by a pod of Pilot Whales. Tefo has had fishing lines in the water for most daylight hours but we've had no bites.

The water tanks are topped off, we've manage to conserve enough fuel for a possible 4 more days of motoring and the crew is in good spirits. We are hoping to see Horta by Friday. For now we are happy to be sailing again.

  3. Finally some wind, hopefully 100 miles/day until the 2nd leg is completed. Following the rally and your adventures daily...really impressive. Continue safe journey
