Moorglade's Voyage

Ted Wilson

Our position is 13:18.25N 56:54.10W

24 hour Run     Log trip (through the water)          147.8Nm
24 hour Run     GPS     (overground)                   148.3Nm
Midday wind and weather                                    Force 4 E      Sunshine, some cumulus clouds

Sea state:                                                           Long low swell with small following wavelets
Temperature:                                                      29.6C
Distance to go:                                                   154.2Nm

We have had a good wind on the starboard quarter since yesterday which has enabled us to sail with cruising chute and main making good speed. The only problems have been with the waves which, from time to time, knock us off course. The autohelm cannot respond quickly enough or over-corrects and the cruising chute collapses with a bang. It requires a diligent watchkeeper to leap into action and correct the steering before the sail collapses but, inevitably, we are sometimes found lacking in that regard.

A large pod of dolphins joined to welcome us yesterday evening.

With the forecast annd distance to run it looks as if we will be in Barbados tomorrow morning.
