Noon position 19/01. Daily run 148.9nm. Distance to 'rum' 57nm. That is, distance to go to tie up alongside in Port St Charles.
A good night, for once Smokey didn't get rained on although he stood his watch in waterproofs then complained of being too warm....ah, bless!!!!!!! Even Night 'Awk managed to wake up for his last night watch......and he got rained on. Not that he's keen to get on dry land, but when the wind briefly dropped he started the engines (as part of the agreed procedure when the speed dropped off) but it sure sounded like 2800 rpm rather than the usual cruise of 1800 rpm :)
All being well, we should be arriving in port late UK time toninght, 19th Jan.
