wind shadow

We've lost a bunch of our wind as now Tiede peak, a 12,000ft dormant volcano on Tenerife, is blocking it. Jimmy Cornell warned that we would feel the effects of it for 100 miles. So we should be through with it come daylight tomorrow as we're still making 6-ish knots.
No longer wing-on-wing; full main & genny.

Antione just came back in saying we're back at 10 knots. So probably viable winds for awhile.
