Wednesday April 30 report.
Time: 1200 Eastern standard time
Position: 28′ 36″ North 66′ 41″ West
Weather: Partly sunny Wind: NE 3 kts
SOG: 11.2 kts COG: 338 T
News: Tuesday afternoon we ran through a occluded front line which drenched
the boat in rain for about two hours. There was not much wind in the
system as the breeze peaked out at 20 knots. Since then the light winds we
had from behind have all but evaporated and we have been motoring in 3-5
knots for the last 14 hours. Right after the rain showers we saw a whale
breech off the port side, unfortunately it was such a brief encounter we
were unable to identify what type it was. Everyone onboard has settled
into the routine and are working on projects during the day. If the
weather holds and we maintain the current speed we should arrive in Newport
Saturday afternoon
Best regards,
John
