Land Ahoy !!!

We have cleared the end of the TSS and are now in the inshore traffic zone, just 12 miles until we round the
point into Sagres to anchor for the night...WOW a whole night sleep can't wait, I may even have a little treat...a
drop of red wine when we get anchored.. :) :)

It was a interesting time crossing at the top of the TSS 10 ships heading in and out of the TSS some passing
quite close.

Pilot Whales spotted twice today haven't seen then in a long time.

So we will have a nights sleep and head to Portimao in the morning its 25 miles so not to far...

Getting excited now as its not long until we have the grandchildren coming for a holiday :) :) :)

Title: Not Far...

Not far to go now...134 miles to Cabo De Sao Vicente and a extra 25 miles to Portimao.
We hope to get there around 8pm tomorrow and anchor just around the corner at Sagres for the night, it will be
so nice to have a full nights sleep...... not sure we will get there by then, the wind has just decrease to only 5
knots, this all slow us down.......

After a few days of heavy cloud cover its a lovely bright sunny day today, we haven't seen much wild life apart
from 2 small turtles.

We are seeing more and more shipping, last night we saw a cargo ship heading straight for us, he was 9
miles away and traveling at 21 knots he did altar course, we passed about a mile part, not sure if he change
course due to picking up our AIS or if he saw our lights or maybe both.....

Its just over 90 miles until we get to the Traffic Separation Scheme ( we have seen a TSS for a long time) at
end of Cabo de Sao Vicente we have been heading up on our preferred course so we can go above the TSS
and enter the inshore traffic zone which is better for yachts, we don't really want to be in the TSS lanes or
crossing lanes that are meant for large ships.

Title:

After 7 days in Horta on the island Faial we have left to start the last part of our trip back to Europe we are now
27 miles from the island Sao Miguel and Ponta Delgada where we plan to spend a few days having a look
round and waiting on a weather window to make the last part of our trip 850 miles to Portugal main land, we are
hoping to leave on Wednesday.

We had a very busy time while in Horta, our wonderful skipper/odd job man has mended "Jerry" the auto pilot
which was quite a big job, we also had to give the bilge a really good clean, some oil leaked from one of the
spare cans. As we were on the dock and water is included in the price we flushed out the water tanks
something that's not been done since we left the UK, the decks also had a good scrub down.

However we did get time to enjoy the island.... on the Monday after we arrived we were invited to have lunch
with the President of Portugal at the Holly Sprit Festival, everyone in the island is invited to lunch of local soup
(made with meat stock and bread), meat (beef), vegetables and rice pudding with sweetbread and lots of
local red wine...quite something to see this large marque set with long tables, red table clothes, white china, a
table in the middle with all the silver crowns that come from each of the church's around the island, there is a lot
of church's on the island we counted 6 in Horta, lunch was followed by traditional music and dancing what a
lovely day and a great way to meet the local people that are very proud of their lovely clean island (we didn't
see one bit of rubbish to whole time we where there). One lady took the time to drive us around the island and
show us all the local highlights, we can not thank her enough we had a lovely day.

Yesterday was a had slog with the winds against us, in 20-25 knots of NE wind we zig-zagged all over the

Title: Fin Whales ahoy!

Great sailing yesterday in 15-20 knots of SW winds sending us in the right direction for the Azores, we went
over the 2000 miles mark yesterday, now we have just 275 miles to go. :) :) :)

Skipper spotted 3 Fin Whales yesterday right next to the boat one went right across our bow. Fin Whales can
be up to 24 metres in length these were defiantly bigger than Euan Mara, its a little scary when they are so
close to the boat. The depth meter showed 6 metres at one time so they may have been under the boat!!

Its very choppy out here today in SW winds of 20- 35 knots unfortunately we don't go faster in these winds as
we have to reduce the sails and the choppy swell slows us down.
The wind is due to veer around to the NE 20-25 knots sometime this afternoon or evening, not so good for us
as it would mean we have the wind on the noise so it looks like we will be doing some tacking which may well
increase the miles to get to the Azores and then would you believe it looks like no wind to 5 knots on Friday!!!
oh well wants a few extra miles/hours when your waiting for that large glass of red wine!!

Title: Another Day is over

The Sun has just gone down, its soon time to start the night watches of 3 hours a time, Skipper is on first watch,
its been a lovely day, sunny, 10-15 knots of wind from the SW we are sailing on a reach doing 5-7.5 knots, if the
wind stays as it is we should have a good night, I'm hoping the stars will be out tonight its helps if its not so
dark when on watch.
We will be under the 500 miles mark today, but as I write we still have 510 miles to go.

We saw another Sperm Whale today just resting on top of the water, when recovering from a dive and
preparing for the next is when we see them on the surface, recovery time on the surface is 7 to 15 minutes, they
generally blow around five time per minute, they are quite hard to see in the swell/waves. When feeding they
may dive down 3000 metres for 40-60 minutes to catch squid and maybe some fish. Socialising groups may
spend several hours on the surface, we haven't seen any in groups.

The count down is on......under 600 miles to go.......
Just hope the high pressure due over the Atlantic on Wednesday still gives us a enough wind to sail.....
I'm beginning to think I'm alcoholic can't wait to get in and have a very large glass of red wine, the thought of an extra day due to
light winds is just unbearable!!!!

Its a lovely sunny day, sailing well, if a little slower than we would like in 10 knots of westerly wind.

We had a first last night.... we sailed all through the night with Bird Big flying out in front of Euan Mara, we only had very light winds
so the only way to sail was to fly the spinnaker, which involves hand steering and lots of concentration, it was quite a tiring night,
very pleased when the sun came up.

We saw one ship in the night, one large cargo ship and a yacht today, this route is like a motorway compared with the East to
West crossing, we only saw one yacht in the whole crossing.

14 days at sea..........
We have had a mixed trip so far with some very good winds to none at all....some good sailing to some rolly sailing!!
We have 1637 miles behind us...
Roll on the Azores... 683 miles to go......

There is hardly any wind at the moment the big bird (our spinnaker) has has been up all day, but still only doing 3.5-4.5 knots, still
its better than none and having to use the engine.

We had a visit from some dolphins this morning, but the highlight of today has to be seeing a large sperm whale having a nice
rest right in our path, after we sailed passed he flipped his tail in the air and drove down what a sight :)

We continue to head north is the hope of some more wind....

Exeter Chefs played in the final today and WON!! well done! the only problem is our weather support back home went to the
match so we haven't had a weather report today !!!!

We found some wind at last, not a lot but enough for us to sail a long nicely at 5 knots.... lets hope we can keep the wind now, the
trick over the next week is to keep in the wind but not head up to high and end up in the low... we are keeping a close eye on the
weather and our weather router back home is doing a great job....I just hope she doesn't want paying!

Last nights watches were quite hard on the eyes, it was a little misty, there was hundreds and thousands of stars out right down to
the water, in fact some looked as if they were in the water, so because it was misty you couldn't make out if it was a target
(another boat) or a star some even looked like they had red and green in then!!

This morning was saw 2 ships at the same time one going east and one west they passed within a few miles of us, then this
afternoon we saw a yacht, we called him on the VHF, had a chat he's heading to the Azores so we said we would meet them for a
beer when we get there.

Dinner today - duck, roast pots, green beans and gray.......happy crew.

Title: Half Way..

1140 miles behind us..
1128 miles to go....
happy times....we love it when the distance to destination is less than the miles we have covered.

The wind picked up yesterday evening and went round to the west so it was time for some down wind sailing, yippee lots of
rolling!!!! and oh boy did we roll with a large swell coming from the north so pleased when day light came and the wind went north
west so we could go on a nice reach, but there is still a large swell so not the most comfortable sail boat ride.

Highlight today is seeing another yacht, it was going the other way, maybe heading to Bermuda ?

1262 miles to go to the Azores.
Just 130 miles to half way, we should make that at around this time tomorrow, so a party is planned on Euan Mara for tomorrow,
all are welcome cocktails at 17.00 :)

Fabulous sun set yesterday one of the best we have seen, if that wasn't good enough it was topped with a superb green flash.

Today's excitement was seeing whale's they were quite far off, we could see the splashes and tails coming out of the water.

We are still having a motor boat ride!!!! the grib files show some wind around now 20.00 but we haven't had any, fingers crossed
we get some soon.

Title: 1 week

its 1 week since we left St Martin and the Caribbean behind us.

Last night I had to don trousers, fleece, socks and shoes. Its the first time these strange items have seen the light of day since
September 2015!! now I know 23 deg is quite warm to some of you but trust me when you have lived in a arrange of 35 deg for the
passed 16 months 23 deg is cold!!!

We had a good but slow sail through the night, the wind has now died and the motor is on.
So far the grib file and our weather reporter back home has been quite accurate, so its looking like a motor boat ride until 6am
tomorrow when the wind is due to start picking up and coming from SSW which will be a good direction for us.

Its been a exciting day...... first we sight a sail boat way off behind us we can just see the stick, we did sight what we thought was a
sail boat a few nights ago but saw nothing in the day so we think it may be the same one, it seams to keep dropping back and
then catching us up, then we see a large cargo ship way off to starboard.

After motoring motor/sailing for the last 24 hours, at 10am we were able to turn the motor off.
We are only sailing at about 5 knts in 10 kts of wind but at least we are sailing and not using any of our fuel.

It rained last night, not nice when your on watch it was as black as black until about 2am when the clouds parted and the moon
peeked thought, there was also a few shooting stars, which are always good to watch.

We are now into day 5 with 634 miles behind us and 1500 to go!!

It just shows you can never be sure of what the weathers going to do......

At 0325 we still had the engine on due to no wind when the wind started to pickup 12, 14, 18, 20 knots sails were deployed, we are
off sailing again but its quite choppy so we have a bit of a bumpy ride.......... I've checked all the weather info we have and it all
say 5 -10 knots!!! Our weather router back home also said we were in for light winds!!!

We are just over 500 nm into our trip the Azores is 1660nm
We are over 24N 057W its cloudy and a little colder, temperature in the cabin is only 25 deg we have been use to 35 deg.....

Wind E slowing going round SE between 10-18 knots.

Ben is working well, doing a good job of keeping us on course, he's so good, he never needs
feeding.....unlike other crew members!

We have seen a few flying fish and one seabird today and that's it..nothing else, not a sign that
anything else is out here.

Winds went a little light yesterday afternoon so I took the opportunity to cook a roast dinner, pork chops with
roast potato's, roast butter nut squash, broccoli, green beans and of course gravy, crew really enjoyed
it...back to pasta tomorrow....

Wind picked up over night Monday into Tuesday up to 20 kts we still have full sail out, doing
7-8 knots.

Fishing lines have been out, not caught any fish....only seaweed!!

Update......
Engine is on.....after a great morning sailing at around 7 knots the wind has died, hope it will be back up tonight going to download the latest weather now and see......

We just have a visit from the spotted Atlantic dolphins, lovely to see these small lively dolphins playing around Euan Mara.

Hello Everyone

100 + nautical miles....
We had a slow sail up the Anguilla Channel having to make several tacks in light winds, the good thing was
we were sailing and not having to put the motor on.
Once out passed eastern end of Scrub Island we could set our course for the first waypoint at 25N 60W in
easterly winds 12 to 15 knots.
Through the night we sailed with reduce headsail and main, just encase we had any nasty squall's that like to
sneak up on you in the dark!
Full headsail and main are now out and we are cracking along a 6-7 knots, its a beautiful day sun is out the
water is a lovely blue, what a great day for Liam's first Atlantic sail

I've made bread its in the over now, the crew are keenly waiting for it to finish cooking, it does smell lovely !!
