The Atlantic, day 4

Distance: 109nm
Tonnys Gps is under the sprayhut. At night it's nice to have. Our compass is pretty accurate, but having Garmins help is nice. Someone dropped the compass while installing it, so all the lines are approx 10 degrees wrong.
So when giving directions to the next steerman, it's important to tell  which wrong line we're using at the moment.
The water was really blank this morning, or pretty much all day. It's amazing how blank it is 400km from land.
Ole did an engine check, and while he was doing this the engine was turned off, and we were able to go for a swim. The dept was around 4 kilometres, and the water was totally blue.
We're hoping for more wind soon. Using a lot of diesel at the moment, and we don't have diesel for all the way to the Azores.
Threw another bottlepost in the ocean today.
