Losing the romance

Steady north easterly wind coming off the Azores high. Means we are heading 350 degrees making 7 knots. Tack over sometime tonight and if the winds are constant that will take us into the Canaries then we can tack again to Madeira. Moderate sea, sunny intervals.

It's losing the romance.

Just saved another flying fish intent on hitching a ride to its death.

Read your blog with great interest and, when conditions are good, a bit of jealousy. Just saw the old post about the constellantions; very impressed with your knowledge in astronomy. You'll be a land-lubber pretty soon; I'll miss reading your blog

Heading for Madeira

Position: 14,18.1N , 21,4.41W Speed: 7 knots, Course: 310 deg. UTC Time: 03. August 2006 08:47 Pointing high towards the Canaries just east of the Cape Verde Islands heading for Madeira. Still not north of them yet. Sea rough, cloudy, rain and wet. 2 reefs in Main and Genoa. Once past Cape Verdes may bare away to make easier sailing and tack back over later on a reach. Makes it longer but easier on us and the boat.

Alison's been asking for a photo of me on the boat Mediterranean- style. So here it is. A bit posey I know, and this not a true reflection of how I spend my days; basking in the sunshine without a care in the world...honest
