The saga continues > Heavy sea
conditions making it really uncomfortable for being on-board…otherwise
fine.
Beautiful Sunny Day; winds continue to
be 30 -35 kts but have recently improved for us on their impact as the wind
direction has gone 30 degrees more to the North from the more easterly
direction that has prevailed for days. That lets our point of sail be more of a
Beam Reach rather than a Close Reach and improves a lot vis a vis the constant
bangs from collisions with the huge seas.
The Maritime Net requested my assistance
yesterday in trying to reach a sailing vessel 200 nm to my North East enroute
to Puerto Ricoh (S/V Calliope)….they apparently have a medical
emergency on-board and the Coast Guard were having trouble trying to reach them
…..I had no luck but have continued with regular attempts to see if I can
pass on a CG phone number in San Juan
where they are to call on their Iridium Sat Phone. It does not appear that they
are listening to the emergency frequency…2182 Khz….but I will
continue my attempts.
DTG to Charlotte Amalie, St Vincent USVI: 299
