Day 7 - BVIs to Bermuda

Topaz
Wed 20 May 2015 20:53
Position 30:38.3N 065:19.1W 2050 GMT
Speed 5 knots. Course 035 deg Magnetic.
110 Miles to go to Bermuda
Finally some wind aft of the beam for some downwind sailing. Its been 1 week and 700 miles of windward sailing! A light 10-12 knots from the SW and we have a full mail and genoa on a broad reach doing around 5 knots. Calm and stable weather. We motored for 10 hours since 3am last night. Also at 3am there was a spooky unlit ship coming up on the radar about 2 miles away from Topaz. No lights, no movement. Just like a ghost ship - serious. Will hopefully arrive in Bermuda on Thursday. All good onboard.
