All going well

Position in Subject line

We are 1067 mls West of Cape Verde and we have 1016 mls to go to Martinique

The half way mark

The winds are keeping up. Got 11.1 kns this morning twin poled.

Our Maxsea forecast downloads are working well so far

We’re keeping a bit south of the rhumb line to get in the better forecasted winds

The boys caught a 13lb tuna (they think it’s a blue fin) yesterday so we had thick tuna steaks for dinner. Guess what’s for dinner tonight.

We cross tacked (downwind)a 60 footer at ¾ ml this morning. It was nice to see another sail to race against. He’s gone up north now. We’ll probably see him on his way back down tonight

 

Regards to all
