Bx says the wind will ease and turn more from east over the next few days. Hurrah! He also says that there has been very heavy betting on whether Snap gets a white christmas or not and hence won't be predicting on that one way or another till tomorrow Tuesday and even then only for Gold Members - but I think I'm still silver. I'm wondering how many whitish flying fish landing on the boat would count as "white"? - there's a few every day.
The Barbuda waypoint is just under 1300nm away so I reckon we should be there next Monday or Tuesday. I did say that 11-mile Beach was "almost never walked on".... and then friends Gordon and Adrienne emailed to say that they were on that beach just two weeks ago. Ooh. Now , what's more annoying than hearing about someone sailing around the caribbean in a nice boat while you aren't hm? Yeah it's hearing that they're sailing around in a FREE boat - like Gordon +Adrienne were - using a friends boat to help make sure it didn't seize up whilst the owner is too busy at work....
I'll go put up some more sails up when there's some daylight.
