Day 314 - Marquises - Tuamotu Passage Day 3
3rd June – As of midnight I was at position
12:38.47S 144:11.01W No fish still, I think it is a pay back however the weather
did play up on me quite a lot. I went to bed about 9PM only to be waken by a
storm front that came through at 10:30PM. It was crazy as the rain pelted down
and wind grew in strength I found myself reefing in almost all the sail only to
have the wind stop. Then the rain would stop and the wind would start and then
they would both go again and then stop. Madness, it was madness as it was
driving me mad. Basically the boat needs constant attention in these sort of
conditions and me just hopping in to bed and going to sleep just can not
happen. Well by 5:30AM the wind had settled and I was back on course. Now sleep……….. Day 314 Destination – Traveling Direction – South West Average Speed – 5.2 Total distance – 115 Nautical Miles Travel Time – 24h |
