Another check from Herb. Vadrouille making passage to Azores. Weather conditions now improving.

Or rather Skipper's wife's log.
Have contacted Herb who runs the SSB net. He confirms that Vadrouille checked in yesterday
at the above position and are "hove too" (stopped the boat). After a few very uncomfortable days attempting to make passage in the awful conditions, hoving too will enable them to rest, relieve any sea sickness and gather their strength.

In spite of the storm, they have managed to make 262 NM from their last reported position - and in the right direction. Gales should blow themselves out by end of today (Wednesday) and hopefully, we will get an updated report from Ron.
