5:24.03N 80:29.52W

A short update today as Miss Molly is crashing her way through headwinds in an attempt to get South. Once down around the 1 degree N mark we can hopefully head on a more westerly course and have a nice sail.

Lots of lightning last night which keeps you on your toes!!!.

Hope to have better conditions to report tomorrow.

Alls well onboard
