And as far as the other location we are now just 310 miles NNE of Fernando De Noronha which with any luck I should be able to send Barb a photo as it is on our best course. This course is plotted to be about 120 miles East of Recife as the Trades tend to split about there with most continuing to the Caribbean and some wending its way towards Rio leaving much lighter winds inshore. All indications and experience say we can expect these benign conditions for at least a week and with the fading of the current it is hoped we can make up a little of the time lost over the last week or so. And Leigh, the Watt & Sea spec for the shaft is A4 Stainless Steel, a description I am not familiar with but I still think it is a seal failure which has admitted salt water to the windings and allowed eddy currents to eat away at its innards. I will leave that to the experts at Watt & Sea to determine the cause of the failure.
