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. Day 276 Destination – Average Speed – 5.1 Total distance – 127 Nautical Miles Travel Time – 24h |
