The sun has risen to give us what looks like it might be
a lovely dry day, just puffy white clouds. It's warming up very rapidly.
We are sailing due south due to the wind coming from a westerly direction
despite the forecast telling us it is in the south or south east. So St Lucia is
pretty much directly up wind at the moment, that will make it an awfully long.
The is one very large area of little wind and low pressure west of us. The high
pressure area has been absent for days, so no trade winds. No doubt it will
change eventually.
At least we can dry out. I hope we have plenty of sun
today so that the solar panels will charge the batteries, we are going too
slowly for the hydrogenerator to keep up. We need to run the watermaker today to
fill up the watertank.
It's all good fun on the Atlantic.
