Day 4

21 January 2010 | Passage to India
Dave and Judy
Nice night . Wind held all night. We've been on a beam reach for two and a half days. Yesterday was pretty bumpy... The seas finally calmed last night. We both got good sleep. Amazing what 4 hours will do. No rain, clear skies, lots of stars. We can see both the big dipper and the southern cross at the same time now. There's a mystical quality about being alone on watch on a quiet night sailing.......This morning: sunny and hot..light wind ...still beam reaching.. Cochin...776 nautical miles to go...... 6 days 4 hours 3 minutes according to our trusty GPS
