Daily Basia Update

Eowyn
Wed 23 Mar 2011 09:59
 
 
Éowyn is underway from Recife Brazil to Grenada in position 09:38.062 N 057:09.242W
 
No change at all in the night. Basia still able to easily contain the water ingress as she proceeds surrounded by the 3 guardships. Yesterday, Michael & Anna were very fatigued and we agreed to cancel one of our 3 hourly scheduled VHF contacts.
 
At 1000 UTC on the 23rd we have 314 miles to run to Port Louis, Grenada. We only need to average 5.2 knots to arrive with some light but as we are losing the favourable current, Basia will have to push on a little more to achieve that.
 
We finished our last fresh veg yesterday, a red cabbage. The fruit and vegetables we bought in Brasil have been the worst of the whole trip for keeping.
