Here we go sailing down a following current in the Gulf Stream, adding half a knot to our Speed over Ground (SOG). If this wind and current stay, we will, after all, make Flores tomorrow afternoon. The chances are, though, that something will change!
Yesterday we celebrated Bob's birthday with Kazoos and with Ghirardelli Brownie Cake baked by Nancy. We also loaned him some special birthday attire and as long as he does not get hold of the camera and delete them, the pics will appear here soon!
All is well, and we are enjoying this favourable wind shift and ocean current.

In 2014 Adventuress sailed to Europe. She made landfall in Muxia Spain; then England. After cruising the English South Coast, and the Channel Islands, she wintered at Woodbridge, England. The next three summers we cruised England, Holland, Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar. For the foreseeable future Adventuress will sail in Europe. UPDATE: it's October 2021 and we are sailing her back to the USA: Transat passage will be Nov/Dec: expect to be in Florida end of January.
