Jambo - nearly through the trough!



We are starting to feel that this leg is very much up hill
We punched into headwinds and seas all day yesterday and at 4 am when I came on watch the wind died and we resorted to using the Iron Lady for two hours to motor through to the se winds that we knew must be on the other side of the trough.pleased to report that we are now sailing into se winds which is taking us towards Horta- Always good for team moral to be pointing in the right direction.double bonus is we are on the other tack so we can put back all the food that flew out the lockers on the other tack when you opened the doors
We are going to change the ships clock today by one hour as we are over a third of the way
Light winds are are about 18 hours away which will present the next challenge as our range under engine will not be enough to see us to Horta .Some difficult decisions may be required depending on where the Azores high settles
Just over 1000 miles to go but crossing the half way point will be important
Philip
