A warm front went through last night, again with a few big black clouds and
thunder, and we made the most of the brisk breeze that came with it.
But, as you may surmise from the tracker, we're having a few problems with
wind and currents at the moment - specifically, lack of the former and
rather too much of the latter. For a considerable part of yesterday, we
were becalmed on a glass sea and today, we're equally becalmed, but in a
sloppy, foggy one. The Gulf Stream, friend to many, has decided to try to
carry us back to England at about 1.8 knots, which isn't helping. The
consequence of all this is that we are able to make nice drawings with our
track - Richard thinks this one is Queen Victoria.
Anyway, hopefully it won't be too long before the wind returns - meanwhile,
the kettle's on and we're planning a cleaning session. How sad is that?

Glad to see you don't expect me to do the cleaning! Looking forward to your arrival, hopefully on Monday morning!

Hey, not long now - can you see land ahoy yet!! Cleaning who or what?? You have done an incredible job making it across the Atlantic and I have really enjoyed the blogs. Hope to speak to you sometime in the next month or so when you get your land legs back!! G:)
