I am just sitting down to wait for my "beans and sausages" to re-hydrate for dinner - a well deserved dinner after just another mammoth day of sail changes and manovers. The A3 is up, and currently the wind is perfect, with a reasonable calm sea. I'm pointing directly at Santa Maria - the SW most island of the Azores. The island is just 70 miles away so I will gybe before I reach it.
