Easter Island to PM Day 2
Noon Position 35deg 02S 106deg 03W
Course – 124 Degrees Speed – 11 Knots Day’s Run – 252 Miles
Weather – Partly cloudy with 10 foot swell from South
Wind – 16 knots from SSE
Yesterday after lunch the weather changed dramatically and became quite nasty with 35-40 knots of wind and big seas from the SE with squally conditions forcing us to head due South. These unpleasant conditions lasted about 7 hours and really slowed down our progress. This morning at sunrise the wind started to turn more to the South allowing us to start making some progress East. I think we will be motoring for 2 to 3 days yet before we can really start sailing again. Still no luck with fishing.
