Day 5 – Headed to Horta ~1163 NM

Day 5 Sun 5/26 – – It was a lovely morning, but a predicted front went through and gave us ~ 20 knot headwinds which meant a very boisterous (aka “sporty) ride.  We had to “batten down the hatches” because we were taking lots of spray.  But we made good progress, averaging ~ 10 knts average for several hours. (Day 5 video will be added upon arrival).

We are now 1st in Multihulls, and 3rd overall – behind White Night and Ariel…  envision “fist pump” by Captain…  

Life on board continues as normal…. Rachel made bread and everybody had a shower because it would be hard to move safely around the cabin over the next few days.
