evening no party time deep south Atlantic A
long dark good sail on steady 25 plus wind, running as much as one hundred and
twenty degrees for stability. A little too far south, The Antarctic convergence
zone of ice cold southern water chilled the evening. Radar scanner on three
miles for ice berg watch. Around midnight Friday March 20th we recorded fifteen thousand miles on the distance log for this world tour trip of adventures to find if the World really is round. Happy
to see six AM Saturday morning sunrise, tacked to port at fifty three and a half
south. Smoother ride but very confused waters. Grey and cold, a little drizzle
but cheered up by biscuits and coffee. Saturday
twelve local Falklands Time. 53.22.50 S 45.00.50 W 110
miles west of Shag Rocks which we are looking to run north
of. |
