We sailed well this morning with nice Northerly breezes making upto 6 knots. The wind slowly edged NW (unheard of in this area of ocean according to the routing charts which show 95% SE!!) and then died! We got down to less than 2 knots of boat speed before giving up and putting the engine on. We started motoring at 3:30 pm and are still motoring now (7:30 am!). Also our electric water pump seems to be dieing, the taps are spluttering and it won't pressurise. Luckily I bought a spare one before we left the UK so I need to fit that today and hopefully we will have working plumbing again soon!! (I will take the old pump apart and try to resurrect it as a backup!) We hope to arrive tomorrow morning!!
