Picking Up
Noon Position: 22 15,2 S 078 31.7 W The wind has slowly picked up, it is still pretty light, but sufficient to fill the sails and keep us moving at a steady four knots. I am trying to get north a little to get more fully into the trades but Sylph seems to want to stay south. Retarded clocks an hour yesterday as we head west, hence a 25 hour day’s run. And my new filling fell out, what a nuisance, such a long way to a dentist form here! But feeling a lot better, only 3289 miles to the Gambiers! All is well. *** "It's remarkable how quickly a good and favourable wind can sweep away the maddening frustrations of shore living". -Ernest K. Gann |
