After a lot of hours of head scratching the satellite internet provider finally got our internet up and running again. Hopefully we will not have any more problems with that.
Our sailing continued yesterday until 10pm last night when we started the engine as the wind died. We have been motoring through the night with the mizzen and staysail to try and slow down the roll from the swell being on the beam. After sunrise the wind strengthened enough to keep the main and genoa full which has made our ride much less rolly. We have had the fishing lines out all morning but no luck yet. There has also been a lot of rain showers passing by. So far only one has given us a good rinse down.
We will put our clocks forward 1 hour today, 1 step closer to Europe.
