I am actually 71 Miles closer to home than this time yesterday and I have no idea how I managed to go that distance. On the occasions I can feel the boat moving the log rarely seems to get above four knots and the rest of the time we seem to be meandering aimlessly. I did see three Frigate birds flapping around in front of a little rain shower from which I was able to collect another 10 litres of water but for things of interest thatâs it. We are currently becalmed again and each of the four weather programs disagree with each other but are unanimous in the fact that they all differ from whatâs actually happening. I am not looking forward to another restless night waiting for the breeze to start then figuring which direction to go.
