Position at 1800 UTC 14/05/10
Daily run 130nm
HOWEVER, since about 0600 (local) the wind has picked up [obviously 'Bean Surprise au facon de Broad-Bleu' is working] and we are now bombing along at up to 7.5kts under Gennaker only. IF this holds up (the Grib files, they say 'si senhor') then we are still on track for arrival on the 18th.
All well, if a little windy, on board :)
