Today’s News
As you would imagine, sailing through a low pressure system would be wet, windy and rough, and it was but we had some great sailing with a top speed of 14.4 knots. The last 6 hours going across the center of the system has been very rolly with not enough wind to keep the sails full. Now we are getting in to easterly winds and have less than 500 miles to go and most of it in a NW direction. Conditions have not been conducive to whale spotting or fishing but we hope that will change as the weather improves for the final stretch.
