Clocks Go Back
We must be getting closer, we are now in the same time zone as Christmas
Island. As you know, every degree of longitude we go west is four minutes closer
to British Time (GMT), so every fifteen degrees we alter our watches by an hour,
so that we are on local time when we arrive.
Wind
Good progress, the wind is blowing and the forecast is for it to keep
blowing until we are there. We hope to arrive in the early hours of Wednesday
morning. The earliest we are allowed to call customs is 0700. I guess they need
their sleep too, it doesn't do to upset them as we may be in the same bar in the
evening.
