All is well on board, life isn’t particularly comfortable in a steady downwind breeze with seas not very high but quite choppy. There’s always current, sometimes 1 kt on the nose, sometimes favorable, probably tidal even though there’s no info in the files. As a result, the sea is rather steep. Nevertheless, we’re making good progress, the kids are as always impressive at sea and always find ways to keep busy. The weather is really kind to us, the wind will ease as the low-pressure system moves away, and we’ll likely motor through the night before picking up a new N flow that should bring us to our destination. Just 275 miles left to scan the sea and radar screen at night! Not 3 hours go by without spotting a lone iceberg...
