18.36. 26th Wind died down to well under 20kt, shook reef out of main and let out big chunk of jib. Still sailing good. Breeze seems to have set up a lovely current of couple of knots, yippee! Quickly go we. 145Nm run til noon today, might get even better if this keeps up, sitting at between 7.5 & 8kt over the ground. Still rolling a bit but much more comfortable. Long may it continue. Might stay around this latitude for the time being, don´t really want to go north looking for more wind just in case I find it.

Still windy, another cold front passing through. But days run of 168 miles WOOHOO. That´s best ever or at least equal best. 143 miles without current which is a fine days run on it´s own. Hopefully tomorrow seas will go down a bit, been life in a washing machine for a while now. 850 miles to Flores. A few more daily runs like this and we´ll be there. Fresh fruit! A beer, been three weeks now!
17.00 Just downloaded grib, looks like another 3 days or so of 20Kt winds. But in the right direction so can´t complain too much. Weatherfax shows nastiness not too far north, glad I´m not up there, this is choppy enough thank you very much.
