TERCEIRA - HOME
29 July 2010 | Elmarleen
Yesterday we finally got some wind worth talking about. About 15 knots occasionally as much as 18 or 19. We put the spinnaker up and for half the day were doing 6.5-7 knots boat speed�..fantastic sailing. We were also joined by numerous pods of dolphins. The kite is still up 24 hours later but over night the wind died again and we are now struggling to do 3 knots again. With only 400 miles to Falmouth and 250-300 miles of fuel doing some serious motoring is an option. Neither of us want to do that as it is so noises and vibrates so much, sailing is by far the preferred option, not to mention we don�'t want to go to Falmouth we want to go to Southampton.
Currently charging the batteries.
Over half the chocolate cake left and we now have a cottage pie.
Off to check the latest gribs.
