Or about 250 Miles South East of Rio, Brazil, but hey it pays to look ahead. A pleasant night sail was followed by a dream run during the day with a good breeze from the Starboard quarter and my favourite combination of jib poled to the lee and main well out and snugged down. A few hours back an odd cloud, lots of cloud, a freshening breeze so using the Climentologists precautionary principle pole down, jib furled main reefed and storm staysail set had us bounding along at six knots for about six minutes and since then - nothing. We are now totally becalmed but hopeful for a change in an hour or two.
