Caduceus - Cape Town to St Helena Day 8 - An uneventful day

Cape Town to St Helena Day 8 - An uneventful day

Caduceus

Martin and Elizabeth Bevan

Fri 27 Jan 2017 04:39

Position 21:23.39 S 000:31.32 E

Date 2359 (UTC+2) Thursday 26 January 2017

Distance run in 24hrs 170nm over the ground, 165nm through the water

Passage total 1222nm over the ground, 1161nm through the water

Distance to go 487nm

Planned distance Cape Town to St Helena 1697nm

Possibly a case of no news is good news. A combination of not having to stop to deal with hoisting the mainsail, the added speed gained from having a working mainsail and stronger winds gave us an additional 30nm on yesterday. Despite a very rolly motion, Elizabeth bashed to pans and produced a tuna bake, one of my favourites.
