The Northern Atlantic shows itself from the more unpleasant side again this morning. We have heavy swells opposing the wind waves, in other words a confused sea state and little wind to power through it. We have to grin and bear it as they say for the next day or so. Then things should improve slowly. We are doing well otherwise. We are sailing with the genoa only (the boom bangs around too much) and are making rather slow progress. I keep the ETA for the 7th for the time being despite the fact that we are somewhat ahead of schedule but we could loose that advantage again in a heart beat.

All OK on board TWD - WSW TWS - 14 kn COG 85-95 deg SOG - 4.5 kn Baro - 1030 (ridge is building) weather - grey and overcast/no rain ETA - June 7 in the morning
