Jan Pieter just called on the sat phone. Erik was cooking. The motor was running to recharge the battery. Fog was rolling in. The water temperature in the Gulf stream was 22.5 degrees (- no wonder there is fog - ) They said the weather and sailing were good and everybody misses everybody!!!!
Their position is 45.40 N and 42.17 W
They have travelled 550 nautical miles which is about a quarter of the way across! So they are making great time.
It was great to hear Jan Pieter's voice :) but, of course, we couldn't chat for long.
Until next time

Thanks Lesley for updating! We are able to tune in from Little Pine Tree Harbour, courtesy of our neighbours, The Knights!

p.s. we'll work on getting an updated location image in soon.
If they go on at the same speed they are travelling now, they will reach Portmouth on the first of August. Happy to hear everything goes so well. By the way the pictures are very nice! We hope they are still making pictures now. Although, the empty ocean might be not so picturesque.
Thanks for keeping us updated Lesley. It's fabulous that they're making such good time and amazing that the cell phone is cooperating so well. Long may it last!. Thanks also Mary and Bonney for updating the images -- it helps to make it real!.
