To Portugal

We have had great wind for the past two days, but the high pressure is shifting, just over 200 miles to Portuguese coast and 300 to our destination.

To Portugal

One of the seagulls came to visit. Found him on the floor of the cockpit, put a towel over him and lifted him out. He wandered the deck for about six hours, did one practice flight, came back and then left for good. Left quite a few calling cards on deck to remember him by.

To Portugal

We averaged 141-miles a day until the wind died away. We are motoring today but hope it will pick up tomorrow. Every time I look at the sea behind me their is a seagull sitting on the water, same one, or different, you decide.

First full day back at sea, everyone trying to get back in the grove, five weeks of fun in the Azores makes that difficult.
