Less than 400NM to go
And we are running out of lures! A really big one now even stole our modified lure. We have exchanged the thin pre-line against a 80lbs one. But he was a good fighter and within 20 minutes he bit through the line. We need steel pre-lines for the Atlantic! Also we are running out of soft drinks tonight but there are around 10 beers left :-) Tomorrow i get the trans atlantic hair cut and it is also shower day. We might not be able to make it for the 9th since at night we bring the Parasailor down if there are to many rain clouds on the radar. Then it would be the 10th early in the morning. But so what... We will get our rum punch form sure!
Less than 500 Miles to go
We just hit the 500NM mark. But due to dark clouds we have decided to take the Parasailor down overnight and use the Genoa only. This will cost us approx. 2 knots of speed but is much easier to handle if we get caught by a squall (small thunderstorm cell). We had Spaghetti Bolognese tonight and cucumber salad. Very good! We filled both Diesel canister today in the main tank to get rid of the canisters on deck. Now they are lying empty in the Dinghy. It was nice to fill them during the atlantic swell. But we manage to fill most of it in the tank :-)
