A nice sunset, after several days of rain. Ship crossing ahead.

One of the adventurous birds that flew so far to sea, and found our boat.

Second+ day en route to Azores. In spite of very light winds, all is well.

Not sure who is flying the plane, they just came close for a look, and George got a picture.

We are west of France, sailing in light winds and seas.

Downwind is tough for the wind vane (wind regulator, in French) so we hand-steer, SOG: 5kts.

First time setting fisherman this way (without old roller furling rig).

Light winds are expected for the rest of week, so it will probably take longer than two weeks to get to the Azores.

This boatyard actually has two horses. The horses are kept (partly) to keep the grass short, which they do a good job of by eating grass most of the day.

We have left this boatyard, and are further down in the harbor of L'Aber Wrac'h, where there is enough water that we can leave at any stage of tide.
