Sometimes your breath is taken away out here, and last evening's sunset was one of those times: a spectacular 360 canvas of colors, we will post a pic of it (will be hard to choose which one!) when we go online in Bermuda. We sailed serenely through to 2 a.m. and then we hit the expected lull, and so we have been motoring in calm seas, and we just pressured up the water-maker. In six days since we filled up, we have used about 50 gallons, and with amps to spare we may as well top up. Today we expect to motor until this afternoon, when we are hoping for the forecast shift to North and then North West, which would be ideal. We are all well and enjoying the sailing and the camaraderie, with all systems working - hope I don't jinx us! - and should be in Bermuda Tuesday morning. Best to all, Jim, Nancy and John
