Towards Ireland, day 3

Distance: 78nm

Engine all night. At 6:30 we tried sails. We had headwind, so we needed more wind to get more than 3 knots... After an hour or so, we could turn the noisy engine off.
This meant a quiet ship, so everyone except Tonny and I slept until 11:30am.... "nice and quit" as Tonny said in the cockpit :-)

Todays good news. Ole found the part we needed to fix the wind steer. So now we don't need to steer whenever sailing with sail.
The picture is of the wanted part, and my new slippers. All the crew wants them, but they are mine!

(later)
Just got back to the dry saloon after 2½ hour in the cockpit. No rain, but I'm pretty soaked, with saltwater.
It's 9ppm, but definitely going to bed now.
