Atlantic Crossing Day 4-6
November 20th, 2008
We are bobbing along. Wind, no wind, variable direction wind, not the expected trade winds. Light wind expected tomorrow as well. Getting lots of books read, good meals made, and Margi made cinnamon buns today, yum! We have completed 1100 of the 2800 KM. The dogs use the trampolines for their constitutional so we’ve taken to calling call them the “poop-deck.” We continue posting our position report but skip the text updates unless we have something better to say.

Hi to Jeri, Margi and Michael x 2,
Please don’t stop your comments, even if there is nothing more exciting than menus to report LOL. I check your blog daily. Am I missing the position report somewhere though? There has not been a lat and long position given since Day 2.
We are in Valtou Bay (Igoumenitsa Creek)in the North Ionian still. The pressure dropped 25 mmHg yesterday in 24 hours, the biggest drop I have ever seen. Predicted winds were Force 8-9, but we were in a sheltered spot and did not register more than 38 knots when the instruments were on. In the Aegean there was a storm warning. It was only 11 degrees on board this morning. Cinnamon roll is on the menu for this morning too (I make it as one big one), if for no other reason than to heat the boat up!
Love from Angela and John XXXXXX
