Thursday 30th April - As of midnight day-7 we were at position 5:21.09S 101:26.93W

 

Our progress has not been great, I was hoping for a lot more wind to be honest, we have had some good winds however they just do not last the day out and we get these patches of nothing which slows us down considerably. Our average went from 5.2 down to 5.1 yesterday and with still over 2250 miles to go even such a small reduction adds 2 extra days to our trip time, so not happy about that.
