NEWS:
Another beautiful day in Paradise. The Caribbean weather is all that one would expect; warm, sunny, and 25 knot easterlies. Our job on this trip is to bring the yacht 1,200 miles to windward. Even though we have good weather information, there is no way around this. Fortunately, the TIMONEER is very sturdy and comfortable in these conditions.
We are using the main sail, the staysail and the main engine with varying degrees of success. There is steady progress toward Grenada. Today there is no fishing, except for the many flying fish that land on deck. We will have to depend on the freezer for our dinner tonight.
All on board are well.
Best regards,
Robert
