Osprey is now about 300 miles form Antigua and in present conditions we
should conveniently arrive Thursday morning. Wind still in the 20 knot range
and mostly south of east but forecast to back to the NE later. Still in the
9 to 10 knot range through the water speed and just sub 9.0 SOG. Posiition
is at 1400 Zulu. Had some very confused seas yesterday which did not agree
with the fuzzy logic of the Autopilot. It des however seem to have learnt as
is much better dealing with similar seas this morning. Sean and Smitty both
had a shower yesterday and are feeling the better for it after rough couple
of days with the beam seas. To mitigate the rock and rolling effect we have
come back in to the west so have lost a lot of our easterly (upwind) gain
that we made heading to Warren Browns point. We are currently heading direct
for Antigua and will have to see how the westerly current takes us
tommorrow. We may have to go around the west side of the island - not that
it matters much as English harbour is on the southern side.
