Noon Position : 38 46N 070 58W
Course 030 degrees Speed 12 knots Days Run : 336 miles
Weather : Thick Fog with calm seas
News: The wind died off yesterday afternoon but we were still getting a great push from the stream and making an aveage 15 knots over the ground. We lost the warm current at about 0300 this morning, suddenly the temperature dropped along with the boat speed, and we ran straight into a thick fog bank.
We have had the lines out again but the fishing scene has now gone real quiet although we have seen a few dolphin about. The sea is oily calm but we are able to hold some sail up aloft which is helping a bit. The fog horn blasts away every two minutes and everywhere is grey, damp and dripping.
So long to the shorts and tee shirts, Hello New England!
