The last few days we have been busy with the autopilot, but now we seem on the right track. Another problem was that we really slowed down, while rowing under near perfect weather conditions. Eventually we found out, and the reason was rather foolish. There is a substantial 
barnacles growth under the boat and we did not expect it to grow so fast, after we had removed it two weeks ago. For this stupid neglect, we must give in one and a half days of the world record schedule but still we are a few days ahead.
Meanwhile we are on the thirtieth day of the crossing and that means I climbed a bit on the list of ocean rowers with the most "ocean rowing days". Of the 769 ocean rowers I ended up in third place!
