getting close

We are now 25NM from the southern tip of Bermuda. It's a beautiful sunny day with just a few cirrus clouds in the sky. After two days of no wind we now have a little wind but it is right on our nose, i.e. the wind is blowing from the direction we want to go. So we tacked off a bit to get some boat speed, then later today if the wind hasn't changed we will tack again to make our destination. We are running a bit low on fuel after two days motoring but we also have a reserve supply of 100 liters of diesel. I'm hoping to not have to use the reserve supply as it's a bit difficult to handle the cans in choppy water which we have a bit of today. We hope to be in port by dinner time.
