Dawn, Day 3

Well that didn't last long, the wind only helped us for a couple of hours before dropping away. At least it gave me time to check the oil and top it up. Motoring again and now only 40 miles from our first way point south of Sable Island. Now expecting to start sailing properly in about 12 hours as the wind fills from the west.

Sable is is a long thin strip of sand about 100 miles SSE of Cape Breton and formed from the collision between the cold Labrador current, and the Gulf Stream. y staying well south we have kept clear of the cold water, hence the fog, and picked up a push from the Gulf Stream
