NE 18kt, hazy / overcast, temp 25C, 1020 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:45:02 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/viente?xjMsgID=62932 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/viente?xjMsgID=62845 With 65nm to run to our landfall on Isla Graciosa it really feels like home straight. It's been an overcast day but the sky has just cleared, with the sea taking on that beautiful clear deep blue. NNE 18-20kt, visibility good, sea temp 25.3C, 1020 steady Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:25:02 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/viente?xjMsgID=62845 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/viente?xjMsgID=62733 Today my prayer for moderate winds was answered rather too well; winds were down to 6-8 kts dead aft for several hours. Now glad to say it has have filled in once again and we are running wing & wing before a nice little 10-15 knots; with cracking visibility and a quiet deep blue sea, this is perfection sailing. God Willing, we should be looking at a Monday morning arrival off Isla Graciosa.
