Over halfway across the Atlantic. After the becalming, we had some gnarly weather for a while- lots of wind on the nose, &some crazy waves that made steering interesting -with the cold, it made life on board quite tough. Things have improved now. The wind has come around &the kite is up; the warmth of the Gulf stream has kicked in. We have been dueling hard with New York who are only a few miles back. Lots of wildlife around, & I nearly ran over a whale...<
