From Ryan on Neutrogena, Up the Rhumb Line!


Another day with a good wind direction, keeping us sailing right up the rhumb line without tacking.  We may not be reaching at high speed like our competitiors with a better angle to the north, but we are counting down
the miles, thats what counts.  As usual for us, minimum distance, and preserve the boat.

Boris and I were happy not to have any repairs to make yesterday, every problem is potentially a major one at this point,  and enjoyed a day with quite changeable wind strength, making for a lot of trim adjustments, but a
stable direction, allowing us to sail directly to Gibraltar.

We would be very happy for these conditions to continue till we get to the straits.
The food is just enough shuold we finish in the time indicated by the weather files.
