Sally - First week at sea have passed

This was the first week of the Atlantic crossing. If our plotter calculate the ETA correctly we will arrive to Saint Lucia on december 15 if we can average 6 knots. That will make this a relative slow crossing and the main reason is the light wind this first week and our initial strategy to sail SW until the butter melts. It would have been better to follow the routing suggested by PredictWind. However, this calm first week have given us a chance to really adopt to 24x7 sailing with only 3 persons on board, beautifull days and nights, good food and a pleasant life. The wind will pick up tomorrow and I think we will get up to 20 knots from NE a couple of days and maybe longer since we will be down in the trade winds by then.
Today we celebrated 1st advent traditionally with hot mulled wine (only a tiny tiny glass) and gingerbread.
Happy 1st advent
