Day 3 Yahooee
29 June 2010 | The boat

Yeah - we have wind now! The breeze is blowing at 15 knots and we are travelling at about 7 knots with 490 miles to go. Land will not be in site for few more days, even though I keep looking for it. I am on watch from 10-12 pm and then again from 4-6 am. I get to see the moon come out and then the sun rise. I'm enjoying the quiet beginning of the night, listening to music. Then daylight brings me scurrying to bed, like a vampire. We are functioning at a different pace - sort of a time warp - with just the boat to wander and it feels a bit bizarre, but okay. I have been planning on starting to knit for a while - and it so happens I have some time now. Today I finished a scarf for Leo and tomorrow I will begin one for RJ. Reaching the halfway point - 400 miles - is something we're all looking forward to - then it's downhill and downwind to mainland Portugal!
