Here we are Mid Atlantic with Newfoundland about 607nm to port. At 1800 GMT we will be half way to the Azores, some 900nm away. We are looking at a dream forecast of south winds for the next four days, and if that happens then we will be in Flores drinking Vinho Verde by middle of next week.
The boat is going well and the crew are fit, well fed and, by dinner tonight, will be freshly showered and shaved. Will Nancy be ready to heave-to this afternoon and go for a celebration half-way swim? Hmmm...with the ocean at 66F I somehow doubt it.
John and Nancy, with Bob and Dave
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.
