Hello one and all,
Well we have got over the line! I guess Dimitri told you about the "Crossing the line ceremony?" We are now at 6 degrees latitude and the wind (slightest breeze) and swell is coming from in front of us. This has brought some relief from the humidity of the last few days. We have been in typical tropical weather for the last few days. No wind except just as the repeated thunderstorms reached us. Dimitri has been catching water for us and yesterday I did a big load of washing in lovely rain water. The sea is flat as a pancake now with just the slightest swell. We only have a 2knot breeze so are motoring. Once we get into the NE trades, we will be able to sail but as the wind will be directly from in front, we will have to zig-zag for the next 2,200nm to Portugal, increasing our distance by quite a bit (but should still reach Lisbon on time).
Best wishes from that Atlantic.
Dimitri and Arti
