Smashing the miles down!
|
Position: 36:51N 010:25W Morning readers! 0930 here and we've had a strong 24 hours
averaging over 200 miles a day. It's been a hard slog close
hauled. Wind remained NNE (I put NNW in yesterday's blog which was
a mistake) averaging 20 knots wind speed and we've been smashing
along at 9/10 knots although SOG has been consistently lower due
to current. We're picking up plenty of boats on the AIS now and
can see the occasional one or two passing on the horizon. Right
now we're about 70 miles off the Portugese coast and Cape St
Vincent. Wind is forecast to shift East today so we will continue
to sail on this tack which will no doubt move our course futher
south as the day progresses. All is well on board....Brownwater might need to take down another shot of Suzie's special sauce though...still no action.....then again he's just gone to the head lol. That's all for now....one more night to go and we should be there tomorrow all being well! Shalan Out Pic of the day....didn't take any more yesterday so here's one on
'dick' now
