The temperature is starting to warm up. The last 24 hours we have been sailing in 15-25 knots. We have a double reefed main and the stays'l up, and we are doing about 7-7.5 knots. The waves are a little bigger today (4-8 feet) and fortunately have started to come more from the east than north, making the ride more dry and pleasant. The more the waves were on the bow, the more that they like to roll over the bow and all the way back to the cockpit. It only took 1 wave down the dorade onto my head in bed, to decide it was time to turn the dorades around.
We have less than 500 nm to Minerva, so we should be there in 3-3.5 days. Currently the weather looks favorable to stop, although we will decide when we get there.
Fair winds and calm seas,
Julie
