Cuba behind us; Cay Sal Bank to stbd; Key West dead ahead (plus a little fudge for the Gulf Stream). When we get to the main axis of
the GS, I will break out the calculator, brush off the trigonometry, take COG and SOG as one vector, magnetic heading less variation as
direction of the second; solve for speed through water; subtract over water vector from over ground vector to give me direction and
speed of the gulf stream. I can then calculate the crab angle that my GPS has already done for me.

Or, I can scrub teak.

Title: Passage Complete?????

So what constitutes completion of an Atlantic Passage?
1. See an island? If so, we saw Antigua last night; sailed by a couple miles offshore,
2. Anchored? If so, we are at anchor for the night in the lee of Nevis.
3. A certain number of bars on my mobile phone? Had half a bar off Antigua last night; enough to get off a couple texts; but full service
only today off Nevis.
4. Post it on Facebook? Not even thinking about going online. I like 24 hour delay radio email.
5. Feet dry? Hasn't happened. To stay legal (enough), we are flying the yellow flag and will not go ashore here at St Kitts/Nevis. In the
morning we depart for St. Croix. There we will clear immigration and go feet dry.

We did go flippers wet here. So explain this for me. Two weeks ago'ish, halfway across the Atlantic, I had to go under to free a line from
the prop. No barnacles. Today, I spent 30 minutes under the boat knocking them off. Does English bottom paint not work in the
Caribbean? Those little suckers grew FAST!

Had to douse the spinnaker this morning; too fast, too furious! I love surfing at 10 knots; but it's a bit rough on the tackle and the nerves
after awhile. Things break out here. What will hold up for two hundred hours of gentle Tampa Bay sailing; reaches its 200 hour mark well
before half this passage. Chafe is something you can keep an eye on in Tampa Bay; here, all you get time for is the "Oh Shit" moment
as something parts.

Title: Masthead - again??

Unexpected trip to the masthead again. Hove-to under back-winded staysail and relatively calm seas. Still no fun!! Halyard attachment
loop at head of jib parted leaving halyard at mast-top. Will restitch, no problem there, but also rigging retrieval line next time she goes up.
Blasted spinnaker block jammed this time. Spinnaker problems largely from guy line parting at pole due to chafe and subsequent chaos.
running through heavy duty hose, constrictor knotted in place within pole jaws. Also a sacrificial ball of line between the guy bowline and
the pole. Will inspect every watch now and rig a block for the line to pass through if anymore chafe develops. I do not like trips to the
masthead! Oh yeah; I paid someone to inspect that Genoa. I guess he thought a couple hundred hours was plenty of remaining service
for that loop. Wanker.

Took a chance on some confused air actually being a confused weatherman. Usually a good bet. In this case we cut the west turn a
little tight and spent the day looking for wind.

In a few days, a stinking low pressure system will be working its way east and with its west wind at the south of the system, will cause us
some more grief. Heading SSW to get below all of the non-tradewind weather.

Approaching NE tip of Tenerife, bound for Gomera. Good 24 hours, maintaining 7kt with stern wind. Flew the kite yesterday until a
block at the masthead broke. Humm. I thought I sent a rigger up there. No big deal. Dennis can hoist me up when we are alongside.

Title: Peniche

Taking a day in Peniche Portugal to wait for some weather to pass and sort out some minor equipment issues. Something as minor as
adjusting the voltage output on the wind generator is a major chore in 15' choppy seas.

Coast of Portugal, just north of Lisbon. Berlenga Islands. Wind 25kt, seas building above 15', beam reach. Margaret Jane rides them well.
Did take water down the companionway when one slapped us abeam. I could ask for them to be spaced a little further apart. Great
sailing!

Coming up on the NW tip of Spain. Likely stop in near A Coruna. Moderate seas, what wind exists is aft. Expending a fair bit of fossil fuel.

Heading towards Falmouth. We will hang there is the weather looks bad for a Bay of Biscay crossing; keep going if it looks good. Dennis
made a lamb cordon bleu for dinner. I may promote him. No wind. Motoring.
