The Snark on The ARC

Ben Little

Wed 4 May 2011 17:53

hard sailing at the moment so very little time to blog easily on an even keel maybe update this evening.

We are pressing our tacks to get to Bermuda in time for Quentin's arrival. It will be a hard slog to do so but our best efforts are assured. The passage is taking much longer than we anticiapted, about 48 hours out of port we hit strong headwinds and need to battle them for 2 more days than anticipated to get home. Even engine is not working since the headwinds and waves keep stopping the boat
