Well, we have certainly got the trades
now. They picked up yesterday to 20- 25 knots and we are making 7-9
knots. Surfng at over 12 on some ocasions. Not quite white knuckle
stuff but definitely waves at difficult to make tea level. If this
continues we should be arriving next wednesday. Our course is 292 to
our waypoint just at the north of St Lucia.
The question for today for our classroom followers
is
What are Atlantic Rollers?
Are they,
The big bread rolls we have for lunch on
board,
the very big waves
or
Rolls Royces painted in Ocean
Green?
The autopilot has gone on strike giving us a
message saying 'Drive stop'
We have RTFM and reset the system with no
joy. Any ideas, do let us know please. We can not get the Hydrovane
to work and are wondering what their Rep did in Las Palmas when he came and made
some adjustments it.
Otherwise all is welland we are screaming along our
way.
Skipper.
