The wind did not improve overnight so as we went into the morning we were still motoring. By 1215 the wind had increased sufficiently for us to switch off the engine, thank goodness peace at last! We had a lovely sail for the rest of the day. There was very little traffic on AIS and just a few WorldARC boats around. We saw the occasional pod of dolphins in the distance and the usual storm petrel's but no other wildlife. As we have fresh food in the fridge we will not be fishing for a few days. In the evening Nicole made a very nice supper. Surprisingly, it was not that warm overnight so I was wearing a fleece for the first time since the Atlantic crossing.
