The best sailing ever!!
26 51 N 63 59 W Not much to say in this update other
than to report the most comfortable ocean passage sailing we have seen in this
sailing life to date. Seas are generally less than 3 feet and not more than 5
or 6 at their heaviest. True wind speeds are ranging from 12 – 18 kts and
generally coming from the South-East which has been giving us Apparent
Winds ranging from 10 to 15 on or slightly behind our beam…..and blue
skies or star filled nights to top in all off. Hope I haven’t spoken to
soon as a very wet low pressure system is going to catch up with us from the
South-West late today and will mix it up a bit. No traffic….have only seen one big
fishing trawler Monday morning and 2 big cargo ships…the last one being
at about 1 am this morning…the GREAT MARY enroute from Europe to
Mexico…I chatted with the Captain (really the Officer on Watch…whoever
he was) a bit just to break up the night. Most all sailing vessels leave the The meals from Chez Cheryl’s galley
have been superb….beef stew with dumplings….lasagna and fresh baked
bread….chicken pot pie (and more fresh baked bread)….and the
experiences go on. No weight loss on this passage. Distance to go to St Georges: 330 nm |
