I thought that there would be some drama about whether we could make it to Faial tomorrow afternoon or if we woiuld have to arrive Thursday morning. This morning we had to average 5.0 knots to make it tomorrow. My apprehensions have gone. Today has been an exceptionally good day sailing. I don't think I have seen the knotmeter less than 6.0 all day, and a lot of the time it has been in the 7's. At 16:00 we had 120nm to go. We are down to the point that if the wind stopped we could motor the rest of the way. The question now is will the wind stay, and what time tomorrow will we get there. Adnaan is anxious to get off the boat and see the town.
