It seems for every quick day, we pay with a few slow ones. We hit a minor frontal system yesterday afternoon, and spent 12 hours dealing with cyclical conditions and dodging storm cells. At one point we were even heading back North! In the end we decided what the hell, and ploughed through it.

For the last three days, the computer has been telling us 3 days to go. We should be into Salvador either late afternoon of the 5^th, or we’ll wait til morning of the 6^th.

On another note, a few hours ago we passed the 5000nm mark. That’s what we’ve covered in Miss Bossy since we left Greece in October, alot of hours at sea, and honestly it’s starting to wear, we can’t wait to tie up, if only because Fabi was down to her last can of coke zero two days ago, it sit’s in the fridge mocking her, who says coke is not addictive. Luckily, I have secreted a large box of chocolates for just such an emergency, and will see it’s time to deploy them later tonight...
