Purrr-fect - Leg Two - Day 7 and 8 - Spinnaker Run and Then...



After 2 days of motoring due to no wind, we got a nice southerly wind, so at 6 am raised our cruising spinnaker. Sailed along briskly but quietly with spinnaker until 10 pm when we took it down. Clocked over 178 miles, and really enjoyable.
What a difference a day makes, because today, the wind direction came right on our nose, causing us to sail more southerly, losing all the progress we had made in the past 24 hours. Lumpy seas due to wind direction change so it is noisy and uncomfortable. We just keep trying to remember yesterday when it was so Purrrfect!
Still making progress eastward toward the Azores, with "only" 550 miles to go.
Signed, Linda at 3:30 am
