Fair winds

Day 2 to Madeira, and we have borne away onto our course having finished with the shipping lanes. Goosewinged sails, 3 reefs in the main and 2 in the genoa, 25-30 knots of wind from the north, and we are making 7 knots with our windsteering at the helm: the Portuguese trade winds are with us, and are here to stay.

The second picture is the view from the stern showing the towed generator and the windvane of the windsteering. And finally Bea on watch 😊
