So far we made 113nm.
( The wind has been very, very light, especially with the influence of Dominica )…
But during the last half an hour — it ‘jumped’ from 6-7 kts to ~17… That is the result of the sailing on the edge of the big squall… I’m looking on radar and wondering if it is going to hit us, or we managed to get the benefit of the wind and escape… ;-)
As we passing Guadeloupe, we are on the starboard tack and straight line to Jolly Harbour, Antigua… The only question is — what is going to happen to the wind…
The forecast is saying — the wind should die by the morning… ( Or become very, very light… )
Well, I guess the answer will be known soon… within the hours.
Everything OK on board.
2 lines are behind the boat… But somehow I’m not sure that I’m going to see fish tonight…
Have a great day,
M.
