Sunday 26th April - As of midnight day-3 we were at position 3:52.01S 93:29.70W

 

About 3PM in the afternoon we finally picked up the trade winds at about 3.5 degrees south. It was lovely to have Silky sailing at 5 Knots on a broad reach. We were actually quite lucky because the weather that I had downloaded in the morning showed the trades at about 5 degrees a further 100 miles south.
