Atlantic Crossing Log Day 2
November 16th, 2008
With a brief “prayer” for our safe journey, we departed Las Palmas, Grand Canaria at 4 PM on Nov 15th. After an hour of motoring the winds filled in to 14 kts and we sailed until 8 AM on the 16th, then the winds died and we started motoring. We are starting to get enough wind to motor sail although the dogs need rougher weather to settle down. Our 4 PM position is 165 M SW of the Grand Canaries at 26.19N, 16.36W making 8.0kts on heading 249 M. Everyone seems to be adjusting to life at sea with
good food and great company. Let the games begin!
