The wind has dropped off so we have begun today under motor and very light conditions. The wind is about 4knts out of the S. We transferred 20 gallons of fuel out of our portable fuel tanks into our starboard tank. I bought a small siphon hose with a check valve from Canadian tire before leaving, WOW does it ever work good for transferring fuel absolutely no messy diesel on deck. We are starting to look at fuel consumption since we have a long way to go and very little wind forecast ahead. We made 115 km the last 24 but it is progress so it’s all good. One nice thing I never mentioned we are really well fed. A lot of our friends made up frozen meals for us so both of our freezers are still pretty full and we are eating very well plus we do a full crew happy hour every day at 1400 hours with a can of beer and some snacks. At 1700 we were under sail again on a beam reach in light air, it’s nice to not hear the motor.
