Welcome to the Azores High

No, we have not reached the Islands, only the the persistent "high" that carries the islands name.

Now I'm no weather man, but I'm learning. "Highs" are an area basically with no wind while around the high the winds go in a clockwise fashion. So the winds we want are up North of the "high". So we are motoring, north.

We still have approximately 900 nm to our destination. We have approximately 500 nm of fuel onboard. We've got to find wind somewhere!

Once we get to the north side of the high the winds should be very consistent. Until then the crew is in good spirits, the sky's are sunny and blue and the seas are flat. It was one members laundry day.
