Mat-Lau III World Safari

Atlantic Crossing Update #5. Our current GPS position is as shown above. Our boat speed is 7 - 8 knots and the wind speed and direction are 10 - 12 knots at 005 degrees true, and the swell is approximately 3 meters NNW and 1 meter sea. Log distance is 768 nautical miles. At this rate we will be in Barbados on 22/01/2014???

Beginning of hope, You tiny little rainbow, Smile on us today.

Swell flattened, smiles onboard. Mat-Lau loving conditions. Boys loving their 15:30 hours steak dinner.

Everyone is well and the boat is going great.

Love from Kevin, Patti, Marc and Milada
