Log Entry: June 5
        
         The Atlantic has bestowed another beautiful day on the crew of the Boundless.
        We are all thankful! We haven't seen the sun or the moon for a few days. In
        addition we had a night to remember.  The winds from a low north of us gusted up
        to 30. That wasn't too bad, however the sea state which was 8-10ft came from all
        directions it seemed, and the squalls with heavy rain and lightning with shifting
        winds was certainly a challenge for us all. It is nights like this that we all think
        about why we spent so much time finding a good, strong, sound boat and
        maintained it well. The boat is what takes care of you. We couldn't see a thing
        outside of the cockpit so we reduced sails significantly and held on. We rolled,
        pitched, yawed, bounced and pounded. Because of the experience and confidence
        in our equipment I don't think we were afraid;  just frustrated that there really
        wasn't much we could do to change the situation.
         We made a decision to turn Northeast for the Azores yesterday. The weather
        looked manageable and Herb warned of potentially high winds if we got too far
        North too early. We got exactly what we expected. The bad news is that there was
        no way we could maintain speed and direction towards our goal when everything
        hit us at the same time. The boats North of us had winds up to 50kts. and a couple
        of boats damaged their sails. That is why we sailed 240 miles out of our way. 
         Last night also pushed our arrival in Horta back a day. We will probably arrive
        on Thursday. We have 230 miles to go, but again the winds are not cooperating and
        we are tacking down wind to get up to the Azores.
         We are really looking forward to setting our feet on something that stays still
        for more than an instant. We have people lined up to work on the things that are
        broken and we look forward to painting our logo/name on the seawall with the
        many thousands of others that have come through the Azores.
         A cold beer would be nice also!
        36-18 N   32-27 W   225 NM to go.
