Last night the wind died again, and we motored for a while, then it shifted to the North and picked up, so now we are on a reach.
As of today we have been gone for two weeks. Today is Monday, and Mondays are significant for two reasons. It is the day we call on the Iridium phone and the day we take showers.
I spoke to Sue and let her know our position and that we are okay. Eric was having trouble dialing Brenda, so I tried to dial her number for him and was successful. I think he was not patient to wait for the second ring.
After breakfast, we moved the whisker pole over to the other side and went wing-and-wing. The wind was blowing 18-20 knots, and we were preparing to reef the main, but before we had a chance the wind dropped back down to 12 knots. At this moment we are less than 1000 miles from Horta, and expect to be there by July 4.
