Another quiet night N40:00 W53:39

Another quiet night, but we were not pointing the right way. Gently tacking, trying to get east.

The wind is up a bit more now and should come round soon.

We are close enough to our 'passage plan':
908 miles covered since Portland of which about 700 are direct line and we have 1047 to do.
8 days sailing so far and 11 days before my son and nephew arrive in Flores.

Little fuel has been used, so a couple of days motoring is available if it is calm near the Azores.

Is it tempting fate to tell you?
