We made 125 Nm last 24 hours. The winds have most of the time been between
NNE and ENE 15 – 22 kn. Even if the air temperature today is no more than 19C,
it feels almost like being in the SE trade winds. Clear sky and just 15 kn of
wind.
We have passed “Moodancer” wich is also a Sun Odyssey 45, but has a
performance rigg, while we have the firlig rig. It feels good, especially since
we started more than three hours after them. But of course, I am sure that in
St. Lucia, they will be ahead of us. We are not in a competitive mode. Why
should we?
The last 9 hours we have sailed with the genova poled out to port and the
cutter to starboard. That is a nice rigging.
The sun shines. Tranquillity is about to reach
us. |
