Blog entry 10am :
Yesterday was good sailing in
good conditions with good progress.
As night bore on it shifted and dropped a
bit but the barometer held.
At nights cloud often forms as the water temp is
high so there is a lot of humidity.
During the day the sun normally melts it
off. That together with a very late moon rising makes it a inky dark where you
struggle to see the horizon.
By early morning the barometer had risen as the
high has come north. This hopefully wont last long.
Game plan is to be near or
even west of rhumb line to place well pop the easterlies as one gets closer to
the island. I will still be doing the odd gybe today to try keep moving. All
well aboard. Happy new year to all. Dale
Blog entry received 3.35pm:
More blog. Sometime yesterday
we[dale and yolo] sailed through valdiva banks. This is a very small area where
the seas become shallow causing the seas to build vs. Known to be good fishing
ground. Always an interesting area to transit.
The water depth it the south
atlantic can be 5000m plus in some parts. Currently the water temp is 22.5deg
with the temp inside the boat at 28.5deg as interior is ventilated. Outside a
lot more. The highest speed on the log is 15.5knots. Likely done in the early
hours of the third day.Dale
