Day 5 of the Crossing We've started to turn Southwards a
bit, towards our destination Cochin.
Both wind and currents are favourable so our progress is good.
It was a fairly uneventful night although one of those suicidal flying fish
did land on Bill's neck in the dark. There must have been sixty or more on
deck this morning.
Today is a milestone day as we are just about to pass the half-way
point - 700 miles done and 700 to run. The second half of the passage will
probably be slower as the South West monsoon wind weakens and veers as we move
further East. |
