Becalmed again
14 April 2013
Slow in Horse lats after 2 good days. Motoring. Distance to Horta 805 miles.
Now in centre of high, glassy calm, hope W winds not far north of me now. V poor progress though, five miles in last 9 hours, dare not use more diesel. Fuel carefully planned.Got strategic reserve of 100 miles still in cans. Very little sleep,sails slatting noisily, rolling in swell if I take the main off . Also had small fire on board- light fitting overheated..
Boat more sluggish- pray for scrub in Horta . Food very boring. One apple and two onions left of the fresh stuff. On we go.
