Day 10-11 Wind!
26 February 2010 | Passage
Dave and Judy
The wind finally filled in. We have been under sail for the last 35 hours. At first we were reaching in flat water making 8 knots in 8 knots of wind. The wind went forward and increased so we dropped the reacher sail and are now under jib and main. There is a 1 knot current against us. Our GPS speed is 6 knots. Our fuel worries are over. Our voyage should end in about 7 hours. We will enter Salalah port around midnight. We don't normally like to come in in the dark but we are beat and need some rest. We have been told that the port is well marked and an easy approach. We just finished dinner and the sun is setting through broken clouds. 35 miles to go.....
