Cape Town to St Helena Day 11 - Almost there

Position 16:30.66 S 004:53.94 W Date 2359 (UTC+2) Sunday 29 January 2017 Distance run in 24hrs 146nm over the ground, 138nm through the water Passage total 1652nm over the ground, 1571nm through the water Distance to go 62nm Planned distance Cape Town to St Helena 1697nm The title of today’s entry is recycled, but there again we have been at this stage in a passage several times before. It is also rather busy on board with both of us sending out emails about our change of plan, heading for the Mediterranean instead of the Caribbean and the USA. More of this for the blog in a later entry. I will therefore leave it at a position report and add that in lighter winds we are motor sailing for the final lap to avoid wallowing. |
