Dany II ...on the move!...wether condition are
still much the same with SW winds @ 25-30knts., with tripple reefed main &
jib, we're continuing to average 7-8knts. on a course of about 100T...right now
we're fitting between the swell & waves, so it's reasonably comfortable as
long as we don't try to move around too much..which involves doing the D2
shuffle!...trying to time foot placement with grabbing hand holds is a
challenge!...at least we're making good head way E...righ now we have 866mi. to
go to Uligan, the notrhern most atol in the Maldives...not much else happening
out here, the fish are safe for another day, & there's no chance of a
scrabble game today...the flying fish & sheerwaters are enjoying the
conditions...we do get the occasional flying fish on board, but with D2"s
slanted slick decks the don't stay for long...cheers!...D2 &
crew
