18.03 n 45 .58 w
speed 5.3 kts
distance 136
swell 1-2 m
wind 12 kts easterly
course heading 264 t
Sunny and hot
air temp 32 c in the shade
sea temp 27.5 c
distance to go 907 miles
I think the food chain must be fairly non existent
in this part of the ocean there's less flying fish there near the bottom of the
food chain so less big fish if you follow my meaning ?
After a quite night under motor sail but with gusts
up to 30 kts and a bit of lightning and rain we awoke to another sunny
day.
Now I know if your experiencing 5 c and flooding
this may sound like paradise but hey ho someone's gotta do it.
The wind is still very light here so we have had
the spinnaker out all day only briefly taking it in for a mid ocean swim 27.5 c
its like a bath.
The wind has finally died a death for the moment
and having to motor sail not much fun,we still have over 320 L of fuel enough
for 700 plus miles and only 900 to go so things are looking good on that
front.
Mike cooked another superb chorizo based lunch with
boiled potatoes and Greg did some freshly baked bread lovely.
All ready for landfall now the last week is always
the hardest and seems to go the slowest but moral is still fairly
high.
We are ready for the beaches of
Antigua................
missing you all
Mark ,Greg,Mike and Jan
