Log Entry: June 2 This is the North Atlantic I expected! Last night the winds picked up to 15 to 20 knots and have held there since. The weather is overcast with light rain and seas 6 to 8 ft. Boundless is making 7 to 8 kts for the Azores...almost! We are still moving East rather than NE because of the weather between here and there. We are waiting for Herb with his recommendation regarding our push to the Azores. We have about 600 nautical miles to go. Today we all needed our rest after a night of BUMPY SEAS. We all found our own way to rest and there was hardly any talking among ourselves. The sounds that were heard were the waves slapping against the boat and the different sounds the boat and its contents make with the rocking and swaying of the boat. After awhile, you do not even hear these noises. The only sounds that wake you are the noises your brain doesn't recognize... then you wake with a start!! We listened to Herb and it seems we may finally be able to go North East by Tuesday!! We will probably experience some strong winds and possibly occasional gusts up to 30 knots tonight through Monday, but the gale force winds will hopefully stay north of us! We will let you know tomorrow.... Time is another interesting consideration. We continue to move East so the day starts and ends a little earlier every day. This hasn't effected our watch schedules yet but probably will in a few days. Bermuda is in the same time zone as the Caribbean Islands, however, they do use Daylight Savings Time, so they are 1 hour ahead of the Caribbean. The EDT for the US is now the same as the Caribbean. We are using Bermuda time as our base. We have family on both coasts of the US so we have that to consider also. In addition we use UTC/Zulu/GMT as a constant during our voyage with inter fleet communications and schedules. So, time comes in may flavors and it is always interesting to convert local time to US EDT/PDT and UTC. It does get confusing!! One of the best communication devices we have on board is our Iridium phone... it works!! I have called my family in the middle of the Atlantic with success which makes me feel closer to them!!! 34:58 N 38:23 W 515 NM
