We were delayed by both marina and Customs
yesterday so did not reach the pass in the ref untill 1700 hrs and floated
through on the current . The day had been ery hot and a thunder stom was
building oer land . I ddid not expect it to follow us out tosea but it did with
winds upto 40knt.Inthe first 12 hrs we logged 102.8 nm and look like making 180+
for the 24.
Good thing is we are making plenty of
power and all systems are powered with ice fpr drinks courtesy of the watergen
which is now fully funtional again. so much eelectriciry I could export it
to the grid.
Today is calmer and sunn , we are happy at 7knt but
could go alot fasteryl
