It's a great day on the vessel Finalmente! Thanks to Tech support from Jim Hachman the watermaker is up and running as I type. This means hot showers all around as well as a sanitary galley. Ni can get back to cleaning the boat each morning. All it took was an E-mail explaining to Jim our problem and symptoms who confered with the R20 manufactuing rep in San Diego and an E-mail back telling us that the problem was an electical overload in the UV sanitizer. So we disconnected a couple of wires to eliminate the overload and we have fresh water. Seven days without a shower is something none of us wants to try again. Once again a HUGE thank you to Jim Hachman

We are now at 19 deg 34" N - 32 deg 02" W. The winds are up some and have shifted more out of the east, rather than N.E., allowing us to gain some easting . We are now less than 1200 nm from the Azores. WE should make the islands in a week !

We are going to have a "Jim Hachman celebration day" here on the boat, by popular demand, thanks again.
