31 May Check in

Just 1280 miles to go (to the Azores).  Winds are coming from west/southwest and making for a lot of hand steering rather than the autopilot.  Oh well, says Code, he would rather have winds from the stern than from the bow (neither one is ideal), and it is better to have some wind than no wind.  They're making progress now at 40N, 56W.  Slowly but sure.  Winds look more favorable for the rest of the week.  Once they are at least half way there, the motor goes on the rest of the way!!
