The wind has totally dropped down over the last day so we’re runningthe engine, as expected. We still have 130 miles to go. And just likeevery time before, it feels kind of weird to be so close to land againafter a long time at sea. The funniest part is that neither of usactually have any idea how long we’ve been at sea because we don’tremember when we left. It must be something like 22 days now. That’salready 4 more days than last year on the same trip. The squallsstayed away last night so I slept really well in the quiet conditions.Right now there are some dark clouds and showers hanging around us butwe still haven’t gotten any rain…too bad. Now there is a little windfrom behind, so maybe we’ll be sailing for the final miles.
