We are already in warmer weather. The wind also calmed down and further from the back of the boat. This allowed us to launch are (asymmetrical) spinnaker. We have been running it all day long. We will likely keep it at night if the weather stays the same..
Last night, we were slightly affected by the global technology outage: we could not download our weather data (GRIB files) which help us deciding which direction we should sail. The problem was fixed this morning and we are continuing to the south to avoid the area with no wind just on the rhumb line. We are sailing a longer track but we are also moving faster.
Last night, the crew got lucky and saw the green flash at sunset.
You may have read elsewhere that a boat was attacked by a shark and had to turn around due to damage to its rudder. We are ready to fight any hostile creature we will encounter.
