We left the Azores at 4pm on Friday after a traumatic visit to the fuel dock where we broke a cleat, due to the swell.
We got off to a boisterous start with 25-30 knots which made typing a bit too difficult, now the wind is down to 18-20 knts. We have covered 280 miles since we left which is very good for us. We are trying to get into Rabat before the effects of a big storm cell off the Irish coast make it down that far. To get into the marina at Rabat which is up a river we have to get across a shallow bar which is quite dangerous if the seas are more than 2 meters. So we are in a race against the weather!
We both took a day to get our sea legs back but are now back in the routine; sleep,read and eat basically.
Only 655 miles to go!
