We are about 2/3's of the way across to Porto Santo. We are slowly getting educated on the challenges of gennaker sailing. Can't wait to read the "solutions" chapter :-)
For the last 4 hours we've gone with dual head sails (gennaker/genoa) as winds have been very light and Porto Santo is dead downwind.
As I was receiving an update when coming onto my watch in the wee hours, Antoine reported the wind as "not glorious". Definitely an understatement but struck me as funny at the time.
The last two days have been pretty consistent 10-20 knot winds prior to this lull. The latest weather report shows it filling in later today. Let's hope that is true. ETA Porto Santo 5pm Friday.
