Dany II...today finds us in the squall zone...gray
skies & clouds all around, with the wind more in the W @ 15-20...still
sliding along at 7+knts. on a course of 134T...we started out with several ships
this morning, but since then have seen absolutely nothing...we're only 49 mi.
from Uligan, but we won't make it to the pass before dark, so we'll have to
heave to for the nite, & enter in the morning...once again, the auto pilot
has decided to quit working...& unfortunately our attempts to resuscitate it
have failed this time, so it will be good to have a calm anchorage where we can
work on it easier...with over 1,000mi. to go to Langkawi, we'd really like to
get it going again!...it was amazing that it hadn't quit in the earlier rough
sea conditions, so why it's decided to quit now is a mystery...stay tuned...D2
& crew
