Position at 16:00 UTC 26 May 2016:   38:42.35 N 034:12.65
day distance 133 Miles

Aparent Wind 16-24 knots , from N,  Sea is chaotic, wind squally. Stamper has difficulty with these waves.

Speed 5.5 knots. COG 074, half genua, three reefs in main and engine on. We think we have enough diesel to reach Flores with the engine on.

148 miles to go to Flores. We expect to arrive on friday before dark (23:00 UTC) in Flores.

We are looking forward to a nice small marina, a shower and a restaurant.

 

We saw two big splashes 10 meter before Stampers bow, about 1m diameter and 2m apart. we believe it was a sleeping whale that woke up when we came too close.
