Nearing the half way point in our passage to Caribbean
30 30 N 72 26 W Just a brief update to say that we are
moving well under sail with sailable wind behind us since late yesterday
(Thursday) afternoon. Last 24 hours have been pleasant for seas and overall weather
compared to a very rough time overnite Wednesday and into the first
hours of yesterday with rough washing machine, confused, seas, heavy rain
squalls and whatever else could be thrown our way. Nighttime temps are around 70 F and
daytime high is around 80 F ….the same as the temperature of the ocean at
80.3 F (27 C) Have had excellent SSB/HF Radio contact
with the Maritime Mobile Services Net (14300 Khz) and have checked in
there each day with Sea Mist’s position and a little chat. A few unexpected challenges with
boat/technology have arisen that have taken considerable attention…but
taken care of….and bottom line is… all’s well. DTG to |
