Day 18 Sattwa
Thankfully wind has arrived and we’re
doing 6-7 knots in 12-17 knots of wind. If this keeps up will be in on Tuesday. Had
the Odlums brown bread mix for breakfast this am with an egg thrown in
for good measure plus UHT milk.Turned out very nice. Did a big wash
yesterday with all the shorts and t shirts etc. Great drying out here ! Last night AIS alarm went off to indicate
that an 800 ft tanker was on potential collision course. While it was 10
miles away there was to be less than a nautical mile at closest point of
approach.I contacted him via VHF and after consulting his radar he saw us and
altered his course to starboard. The seaweed continues to be a problem and
precludes use of towed water generator and fishing line. Hoping this fair wind brings us in safely
to Martinique. |
