Nov 5 - Atlantic off line blog
Gibraltar - Las Palmas
... is a winning combination when you sail the Atlantic as we are at the time of writing this blog text.
Stefan (here in command at the wheel and assisted by Pixel's hostess Ebba) is a quality coffee lover. He has kindly provided us all with enough espresso capsules to last the whole trip.
Unfortunately you can't operate the espresso machine on direct wind power. In order to get a good brew we need to start our ship's diesel generator to get the necessary voltage for the coffee maker.
Shortly after leaving Gibraltar we hit favourable winds of 12-13 m/s from the North. We can now make good progress as we are heading in a south easterly direction towards Las Palmas. Average speed just now is 9 kn but our speed record is16 kn.
