Another slow day...

4thJuly 2010 07.00. 38deg 48N 34deg 59w. Pressure 1029.5mb.
Did total of 5 miles since 5pm yesterday. Towards Iceland. Not quite the world beating daily runs of late but never mind. Could be going backwards. Tempted to motor but better not, nearly out of diesel and who knows what muck there is at the bottom of the tank waiting to find a new home in the engines´ fuel system. So drifting is today's plan. Heading 015 deg at 0.5kt. Azores high looks set for a day or so anyway, better make myself at home. Chckpeas soaking for another monster curry, ain´t gonna starve but ain´t gonna suffer from sensory overload from fresh food either. Could possibly torture small puppies in exchange for an icecream right now. But it´s a lovely sunny morning. There are some dolpins leaping couple of hundred yards away, the boat isn´t moving so doesn´t look like they want to come and play today. What to do today.
