The @guldenleeuw is still making her way home from

The @guldenleeuw is still making her way home from Progreso. In case you've been missing our morning updates from the ship, here's a good one from Captain Jeroen! ⚓ "Goedemorgen! Gulden Leeuw had a great sailing day yesterday - we have set the new record for the CAF 19/20! 12.4 knots was observed on the GPS and we can also say we made over 200 miles in 24 hrs, which is 8.3 knots average. We do have to start somewhere in the middle of the day before yesterday to creatively start the 24 hours run otherwise we don’t get to the 200 miles, but for that we should be let off the hook, right? The winds were a stiff NW 30 gusting 35 knots and the small canvas we were using was still plenty to let GL push though the waves like she smelled home!
Today the winds have decreased and we have set more sails again to increase speed. We are about to unfurl the course. As you might know, there are a few more Dutch tall-ships underway to the Netherlands and I have asked them to update their position to us as well, so we can plot their progress on the chart. Twister (schooner), Wylde Swan (topsail schooner), and Regina Maris (three mast schooner) are sailing the same route back over the Atlantic. I’m assuming that if they have trainees/students on board they might stop in Horta (Azores) to do provisions and/or get fuel, as these ports are closed for normal visits but they allow ships to come in for fuel and food. If that is the case, we could sneak a little closer to Twister and Wylde Swan, and hopefully race a little! Gunilla is still behind us and every day I get their position to see if they got any closer to us. The Island of Faial is very famous as a “half way” stop across the Atlantic and the famous Peter Sport cafe and local shops usually do good business when sailors with beards and smelly armpits come to have showers, shave and do laundry in the harbour, and have a drink and eat food in the cafe. In general, the Islands of the Azores are amazing, and it’s one of the biggest “miss outs” for us not being able to stop there."
