Day 5
Log reading at noon is 19720
Noon to Noon distance = 162 miles
Distance to go 250 miles.
The wind over the last 24 hours has settled down to a general direction from the ESE, which means we are no broad reach. This is giving us fast and steady sailing.
With the wind direction now steady, the sea has also calmed down.
Wildlife
Just a few birds today
Ship
No ships seen in the last 24 hours
