We are currently bowling along at 6-8 kt in a
20-25kt easterly. We are heading for a point some 80 miles ahead
that will keep us clear of the Mouchoir Bank (whale breeding grounds and very
shallow) before we turn north towards the Caicos islands.
The first day out was good untl the wind died at
3am - predictable when you think about the size of Puerto Rico! Pretty slow
motoring thereafter until late afternoon when a line of showers crossed us
revealing a nice 20kt trade wind begind. We've been in it ever
since.
We are eating well. Soup for lunch - we call
it USDA soup - more on that later. Pork medallions for
dinner!
Happily neither of us is the worsefor getting
shunted up the back end in our rental car in Puerto Rico! More
paperwork!
