We're not going that fast, progressing in stable but relatively weak trade winds. The weather has changed, it's going to be a drag race to the Azores. The wind will lift and I think we'll have a transition period until the Canary islands. Then there's that tricky ridge to cross to eventually catch a northerly wind in the Bay of Biscay, with 35-40-knot wind.
The boat is doing fine, there hasn't been any issues. There is some wear and tear, of coure, but nothing serious.
