Atlantic Crossing Update #5. Our current GPS position is as shown above. Our boat speed is 3 - 4 knots and the wind speed and direction are 6 - 8 knots at 100 degrees true, and the swell is approximately 3 meters NNW and 2 meter sloppy sea from the SE. Log distance is 1,052 nautical miles. At this rate we will be in Barbados on 31/01/2014???
Sleep my sailor man For when you sleep you reappear A happy kindred soul.
Corks pop for breakfast, 1,000 NM on the tumblers. Only 2/3rds to go. Making progress on full Genoa. Skipper will not climb the mast to repair a chaffed halyard at the top - neither will any of the srew!!
Everyone is well and the boat is going great.
Love from Kevin, Patti, Marc and Milada
