Date: Thursday 16/10/14 - Time: 23:00 UTC Position 29:49.28N 13:42.55W Last 24h Sailed Distance: 81 NM Last 24h Decrease Distance on rhumb line: 110 NM Sailed distance since departure: 630 NM Time since departure: 5d 16h 00m Average Speed since departure: 4.63 kt Intention: sail to Lanzarote - Arrecife Distance to End on rhumb line: 52 NM ETA: Friday Oct 17 Detailed Track (50 is the maximum number of point, i.e. once the last point reaches 50, the last point always is 50): http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0EIVGO9oiEYLjqAfRxhderm34cEEF9dMP Because of winds from SW - exactly on the rhumb line for La Gomera - and because of a diesel level that would have made a landfall in La Gomera just at the end of the tanks. It was decided to divert to Lanzarote for refueling and perhaps an overnight. Forecast for Saturday are for winds from the East. So it would make it easier to then continue for La Gomera.
