Cloudy but fast

31st July 2010.
08.00 Flying along. Wind about 16kt from just west of south, boat speed mid 5´s or 6kts, 7 in the gusts. Seas up a little but not bad really, regular. The old boat does like a little breeze and an empty ocean. Don´t we all.
12.00 49deg14N 15deg 41W Pressure 1021mb.
Days run 121Nm. Should be better today, 419 miles to go. Soon we´ll be back over the continental shelf so on the lookout again for more traffic and fishing boats. Another cold front going through tonight. Fast sailing if a little bumpy. Right now a little light jazz from Aaron Neville calms the waves, lets see, tuna for lunch I think.
If anyone does read this it may not get updated til landfall, the satphone email account is just about to expire, so if it all goes quiet it doesn´t mean I´ve fallen off the edge of the world. Or possibly......
