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.
