                | Ok so this is the doldrums. Hot humid, and only a 
little wind. Dropped the main about an hour ago and put up the double headsail 
setup. With another crew a spinnaker would have been the order of the day but I 
know how hard it can be to get one down on your own, especially since the boat 
isnt rigged for it so I'm playing the old bugger card and ignoring the 
guilt. The twelve hours to 3.30 this morning were fast. 
110nm's covered but then there were the ever decreasing winds all day.Still 
159nm is good. Radio is fixed, stereo too and all systems seem 
ok. Looking forward already to the south east trades, 
just got to cross this itcz. Still I'm at 8 degrees (41 minutes) so getting 
closer. |
