We left Georgetown, Bahamas early on Feb 5 armed with a
weather forecast and passage plan for Puerto Rico. The idea is to head north and
east out into the Atlantic until around 68 W latitude before tacking south to
bring us into the trade winds. The first day passed easily but progress is
slow; a strong swell off the ocean is keeping our speed down to around 5 knots
at best. Intermittent squalls which quickly double the prevailing wind
speed keep us on our toes reducing and changing sails, but at least the
boat is washed clean.
