Timoneer sailed through the afternoon yesterday as the breeze continued to veer until it finally went West of South and we were forced to Jibe over to port on the closest course to Bermuda. By nightfall we were forced to motor sail as the wind continued to abate throughout the evening leaving us with a confused swell that would toss you from your bunk without the leeboard. This morning Timoneer was 400 miles from Bermuda with light headwinds slowing us slightly but still making good progress towards a Monday afternoon arrival.
