Total distance travelled : 1584 miles Distance to destination :447 miles

As of midday today (Weds), we only have 447 miles to go - hurray - and we are over 3/4 of the way there.

The last few days have been quite boisterous, especially last night which saw us experiencing gusts up to 38kts, right behind us, while surfing down the waves with 3 reefs in each sail - all a bit too much, so we rolled away the main sail and continued with just the genoa and the boat feels much more under control.

Today the wind is back to 18/20kts and the forecast is for the swell to reduce, which we will be very happy with.

Life on board has its rhythm and we are eating well but, as always, could do with more sleep.
