Passage from St Martin to Bermuda Position: N29:01:8 W064:18:1

St Martin to Another slow but very pleasant day. The gribs have been
pretty accurate though and the wind went to the SE and started to increase late
afternoon/evening as predicted. We goose winged the genoa and have been sailing
like that all night at 7.5 – 8k in 15-20k of breeze, though reefed the
genoa a bit in the night. We should have solid building breeze for the rest of
the passage (205M to go) so have an ETA around local noon on Friday, hopefully
ahead of the worst of the front - put a biggish reef in the main this morning
in anticipation, but still doing around 8k. Life on board is fully occumied with lounging about,
reading and fine dining courtesy of chef David. Date and time: 5th May 2016; 13.00 GMT Distance: 172 M Position: N29:01:8 W064:18:1 |
