From Ed: Still motor sailing with the only exception being a nice sail from 10:00 PM last night until about 4:00 AM this morning and back to motoring again. We are in the stream as of about 5:00 AM today and should be out of the stream around 4:30 PM this afternoon. As many times as we have traversed the stream, its still incredible to stick your hand in a bucket of water (washing the decks) to be amazed at the water temperature (86 degrees).Earlier this morning there was a large school of Portuguese Man of War floating on by. They look like tiny toy sailboats.
Apparently we had a leak in a water pipe when the pressure water was on and it emptied our starboard water tank but there was not any water in the bilge. I think a faucet had been open prior to the pressure water being turned on and the tank emptied. The watermaker is now on and working overtime to replenish the starboard water tank.
The weather today is a beautiful sunny day with a temperature of 72 degrees. The cold weather only seemed to last for about 36 hours before we noticed it was becoming milder and we are now thinking about shorts and tee shirts very soon. Our position today at noon is 37 39'N 69 04'W and we will probably need to call on Bermuda as a fuel stop.
