Title: Thursday, Day 1 at Sea

Uneventful day at sea. Spent my off time reading Conquest by Juliet Barker and sleeping.

We motored north all night and this morning trying to find some wind. Finally we ran into some wind from the southwest. This allowed us to turn the engine off and sail on a broad reach on course 95* magnetic. Accounting for variance of 13 degrees, our true course is 82*. This should bring us right to the Azores but the wind will probably veer west the further north we go.

Anyway, my 1700 to 2000 watch was good sailing with winds about 12 to 15 knots. We saw lots of Porpoise today.
