Today’s News
Soon after lunch yesterday the wind came up again and so we put away the fishing lines and unfurled the genoa. Last night we got lots of squalls again and the wind turned on the nose. There were also some good lightening shows. We have been motoring ever since. The forecast is for these conditions to continue for2 days and so we have altered course further North to give us a better wind angle to sail when the wind turns in 2-3 days time. We have had the fishing lines out all morning but no luck yet, just one that got away.
We are now less than 50 miles from crossing the equator.
