ITC around me

Stamper
Tue 16 Feb 2016 11:00
Position at 11:00 UTC 16 February 2016
02:58.65 S 029:30.28 W day distance 125 Nm

Winds 5 - 10 knots  , from the East

Speed 3-5 knots. COG 320 , Spinnaker was upagain for 18 hours but had to take it down at sunrise with a 90 degree windshift. This is the ITC with some lighting last night. I do not understand how that can happen in clouds about 100 thick only? Maybe still 300-500 miles before I reach the stronger NE trades.

Bonus of today: 125 nm but since 09:00 the engine is running.

At sunrise, the same moment the wind shifted: lots of sardines around Stamper, small tuna jumping and later dolphine making 4 meter jumps!

Pelagie and VulCan Spirit: safe and pleasant sailing!
