Good Company - Slowly making our way south

Slowly making our way south

Good Company

Current position: "23:49.63N 30:26.83W"

We're slowly making our way south so that we can soon head east on more of a downwind run. Right now there are northern storms (way up north, nothing to worry about) that are pulling us upwards and pushing down choppy seas, frustrating but not dangerous. A few days of slower going will help us make our way to the Caribbean more easily.
