3 Days into our crossing

We have had 3 very fast days of sailing. Too fast for our liking. We are averaging 190Nm per day with top speeds surfing down 4 m waves of up to 16.9 knots. Quite scary for us. Just now one of our spinnaker blocks ripped out of the mast. Luckily we have been flying our Parasailor for the last 50 hours on 2 halyards. Many things are just dimensioned too small for long crossings. Kazaio has diverted to the Cape Verde Islands for repairs to his broken halyard fitting.
