motoring?

My sister Carole commented that the two leading boats may be motoring part of the time as their tracker lines are very straight. Certainly no one can say the same about us as we're all over the place trying to maximize forward progress based on wind angles. I suspect we may be up for some kind of an award of longest path to go across the Atlantic :-)
Also of note is that we update our position on the tracker every 30 minutes, so everyone can see all our gyrations. Others may be updating just once a day so their lines would look much straighter.
Today we filled up with water using the watermaker hopefully for the last time before Barbados.
We have about 40% of fuel remaining in the port tank and 30% in the starboard tank. Should be plenty to supply our remaining power needs as we are about 4 days out. Best guess ETA by our navigator, Ben, is arrival on Sunday at 5pm.
