Day 2 Brazil To Lanzarote

April 8, 2011 | Author admin

Noon Position 7deg 48S 33deg 45W

Weather – Squalls with 6-10′ (2-3m) seas

Wind – 15 knots from E

Today’s News

We had a great sail yesterday afternoon with the main and genoa reaching speedsup to 13.5 knots. At sunset we put 2 reefs in the main and use the staysail instead of the genoa, as there was lightning on the horizon. As the night went on we got rain squalls which forced us to run with them as the winds were strong and there was also a lot of lightning making for a fairly wild and exciting night.

Sunrise has brought less squalls but the wind angle is less favorable causing us to use the engine. At the moment we are trying to conserve fuel as the last 4 days of the trip up the coast of Africa has current against us and the predominant wind is also against us. It is a very fine balancing act of the time we have to get to Palma and the amount of fuel we have.
