It’s the day we were waiting because wind came up on time: first as southeast lightweight which progressively started to rotate and grow as expected, then as the current 14-15 knots from the south -southwest.
All around us and has changed, and the signs of the cold front that we are going to meet are clear everywhere: the pressure drops steadily, the sky becomes gray with scattered squalls and rain.
Now we are waiting to cross the front around 20UTC, then we could put the bow on Tenerife, and finally see Cape Arrow really run with fresh winds from the west.
But the sea stays clam, making us run fast through the sea even if we are wet with rain.

Everything is going well, except for the horn (located on the shaft, under the radar) that last night has decided to abandon the bolts that use to hold it in place and then to hang from the air hose.
But Bruno took the bosun's chair and he safely brought the horn on deck: once arrived at our destination we will provide to fix it.
Greetings to all of you!
