It is nearly midnight ( UTC ), the second midnight on the passage.

 

We are doing well, progressing towards Minorca.  Towards the Mallorca, actually, at this point, due to the direction of the wind...

It is 0233 local time. Seems like our sailing strategy paid off – and we managed to avoid the ‘wind hole’... If the model prediction is right – it will occur behind us,  to the East... ( Well, if not –  we will be going longer, but not a problem... )

 

COG: 240 T
SOG:  ~6.5 –7.5 knts

WIND: NW ( ~311 T),  ~10-12knt

 

The distance to Minorca  -- about 68nm, and distance to the most south point of Mallorca ( Santany ) about 133... 
I’m not sure at the moment which exact direction we take...

-- to go to Minorca, have some rest, and then Palma ( Mallorca )
-- or to go straight to Mallarca.
The decision is going to be closer the morning...

So, everything is ‘passage stable’ way.

The boat doing great job, both of us are ok.

 

Talk later,
Michael.
