After motoring all night and all morning, a nice breeze has popped up and I have been sailing down the rumb line all afternoon, it's been really nice. I dropped the remaining 100 liters of fuel into the tank this morning, I have plenty of fuel for the rest of the trip. I also polished some more stainless, and have been listening to Radio China on short wave. So all in all a nice day, I have 220 miles to go so I will highly Likely get there on Thursday, as to Wether I get there in time to check in depends on the wind. It is forecast to build tonight and tomorrow, so I am in with a good chance of getting there mid afternoon. It's only forecast to get up to 17 or so knots, so should be good fun sailing. I think Neptunes Highway may get there this evening, I will find out on our HF sked later, they have had a really good run. That's about it for today, its good to be sailing again, but looking forward to getting there now.
