Rain.

Drizzle outside. Grib shows Azores high moving north a little and the wind dissappearing with it. So it goes. Sailing OK right now though, through the grey north Atlantic drizzle. 332 miles to go, could be slow, the wind might hold. Who can tell? Not me.

12.00. Rain stopped. Wind a bit more north so gybed jib round, on port tack now. Days run 131Nm. 316 miles to go, keep going, girl, almost there! Fresh tomatoes! Chilled Portuguese white wine!!

No wine then. Flat calm and drizzle. Not enough diesel to motor 300 miles. Might have a day off here then. Stay in and read a book. That would make a change.  Seem to be in a satellite dead zone as well so might be stuck here for ever and never get to send this.
