Half way
Admin | Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 4:52AM We have reached the half way mark after just 8 days at sea. The wind has increased in the last 24 hours to 20-25 knots, however it is the larger cross swell that is the main reason for reducing sails. Last night we had a few things flying in the boat as we went down a swell. We even had a flying fish land in the saloon, which was a surprise for everyone. The forecasts are for the wind to stay with us for the next few days. Fortunately the wind is forecast to swing more aft which should make it more comfortable and possibly we can get our symetrical spinnaker up.
Our current position is 6deg 41.5'S and 114deg 41.02'W and are roughly still on the rum line.
Everyone is well on board, however the adults are a little tired after the bumpy night last night.Hal
