Jambo - the plan from here



Well it looks like we have light and unfavourable winds I.e on the nose for at least the next 3/4 days and we do not have enough fuel to get to Horta . Plan A is therefore to make best use of the winds in the day and motor for Flores the most westward of the Azores Islands at night when it is difficult so see the tell tails on the sail and the sea settles down a bit .Our weather Guru thinks we might get some winds that will help us around then so bingo! we could then review wether we go into Flores to re fuel or sail on to Horta to aim to get there before the gate goes down on this leg of the rally. Well that's plan A and we are working on plan B as I type this

It's a beautiful day in theMid Atlantic with very light winds so it's a time to catch up on jobs ,audit what food we have .
Carol is making bread ( yum ) I am making a coleslaw,Tom is fishing and Nick is writing more poetry and checking our sail trimming.Jambo is just a hive of domestic bliss
The sky at night is amazing with a half moon setting early so you can see the Milky Way with no light pollution
