East we go some more

14.30 28th June 2010. 37deg 53N 45deg 36W. Pressure 1024.
Breezy night, put in second reef in main again at some point in the middle of the night. WInd down now to high teens, back to 1 reef in main and more jib rolled out. Lots current, hit over 9kts over the ground a little while ago. Should put the ships time forward an hour, we are sailing into the future. Every 15 deg east is an hour ahead. Pressure way up but still enough wind. Must be the low above and the high below both adding their bit. 680 miles to go. Getting a bit bored now, into week 4 and been stuck below for days now. Not so bad now but when the wind gets up every once in a while a wave will hit the side of the cockpit and fill it up a bit, not the perfect spot to be sitting reading a book! Still, not long now. No bits of boat broken yet, fingers crossed.
