On our way again

Hi All,
Well at 11:30 this morning, we dropped our lines at Horta and restarted our voyage east!
We have said farewell to Jeff on Friday and welcome Nelson back onboard even after the fact he took the long route to get to us with missed connections and all that other typical airline type thing.
Horta has put on a great day for our departure. Clear skies and good winds from the southwest to get us going. But now that we are out of the island influence, the winds have returned to their flukey games that we had coming into Horta.
We have a little over 1000 miles to run to Gibraltar. How long we will stop there (if at all) has yet to be decided. It will depend on the time it takes us to get there.
So stay tuned and watch for updates. You will at least get a map update once a day and I hope that someone will create a blog entry regularly as well!
Have a great day - we are!
Graeme, Lynley, Nelson, Hartley and Martin!
