Passage from Reunion to South Africa S25:45:831 E047:48:576

Day 3 So yesterday’s plan was to get to the north side of the loop in
order to pick up a positive current. We started off with 0.5 knots
against and it gradually built up to around 1.2 knots against – a lesser
man (me) would have decided to cut our losses and head south but (after much
discussion!) we kept going. I didn’t want to get anywhere near the No cetaceans or even sea birds yesterday – quite a few ships and
one we had to call up to ask to keep clear which he very obligingly did. Date and time: 24th October 09.30 local (GMT + 4 hrs) Position: S25:45:831 E047:48:576 24 hours distance: 174nm |
