21:29N 64:49 W A record run of 172 n.m. noon to noon 7th 8th May for
Libertad.
The downside to this is that it has been a
very rocky ride and several crew have had serious sea sickness overnight
and continuing today. They have resorted to most chemical remidies and several
mechanical.The Ginger nut biscuits seem to help ,some prefer Stugeron or
similar.
It is now Friday 8th May at 20:00 UTC 21:00 BS for
us at four hours behind we have a few more hours of daylight.The weather
forecast from Bruce in Australia tell us this strong easterly will decrease an
go south east then south before we reach Bermuda.
Guy and I have a bet on guessing the arrival
time.Lunch today consisted of shepherds pie cooked by Guy and very welcome it
was as this was the first hot meal since leaving Nanny Cay.
Last night we were surounded by other yacts but
today we have thined out and at the noon positions we were in the middle of the
fleet,Corrie and Em, you would not like out here, It is similar to the day we
sailed from Saba to St Martin only bigger seas.
Will try and blog when the weather moderates as the
computer keeps trying to leap off the chart table
Best wishes from Paul and the crew of
Libertad.
