Apologies for wrong date on previous blog Saturday was a somewhat frustrating day with mix of engine-ing and sailing as the wind came and went from various directions.
We speak daily by SSB to our 'neighbours' for this trip, Dania, a steel 39 footer with 3 young Danes aboard. They are about 80 miles away to starboard and are also heading for the Azores.We have also been on the radio net of Herb, the weather-man, but it's been difficult getting decent reception to talk to him properly about his recommendations for our route.
David caught a nice 2 kg Dorado for supper, while M minced around petulantly complaining about blood stains on the deck. Fishy put to sleep by the garden sprayer method (aerosol of gin to the gills) and cut into steaks and roasted with red cabbage and garlic. Our Pos at 2100 Sat night (0200 BST Sun AM), the start of our 5th day, was 25D28N and 60D7W. Rig, boat, and bones all now making creaking noises as we plod bumpily NE by motorsail at 4.6 kts. Night sky lit by a bright full moon and the waves lit by brilliant Venus-shine.
