Saturday, June 10th Position 33°58.090N; 42°02.437W

Since yesterday we have real great winds. We're sort of sailing on the edge of a high that gives us a 15 kts on a beam reach. With all sails set, we're doing over 8 kts for hours, heading strait to Horta.

With only 700 Nm to go, the chart plotter already gives us an ETA, estimated time of arrival, of about 96 hrs. Providing of course that the wind stays like this.

Every day we're looking for a reason to celebrate and propose a toast. Today is fathers day, what more do we need :-)
Eline made us all a nice tie: for the dearest father of the whole ocean!
She also backed a raisin bread, for sure the best bread she made, delicious !!
Too bad I can't upload any pictures from here, but I'll add them as we come to Horta.

The nights are getting cooler by the day :-) but during the day, it's real nice and warm and most of all sunny. Clear enough to take some more sights :-)
