Éowyn is underway from
Recife Brazil to Grenada in
position 10:50.775 N 059:23.773W
At 1000 UTC on the 23rd we
have 162 miles to run to Port Louis, Grenada. We are likely to arrive
tomorrow morning. The actual time will depend on the currents after Tobago but
1400 UTC (1000 Caribbean) is our best estimate .
As you can see the convoy is
making great progress, the catamarans struggling to sail as slowly as Basia's
pace. Tucanon is presently sailing with a drogue to keep down to the required
speed. We don't quite have that problem, reefing down works for us. Winds are 25
knots ESE.
We will now pass the east side
of Tobago in good light so we will all see the beauty of that Island and
hopefully catch a sight of the long tailed tropic birds which nest on Little
Tobaga.
Anna's broken toe, sustained
when she was cutting away Basia's rig, is much improved. so far this has been
the only injury from the incident. Basia will have motored over 1,200 miles and
for 9 days when we complete tomorrow - quite an
acheivement!
