Hi everyone,
At 1200 today we were at 20 06N 073 47W steering 040M, motoring at 5 knots. Sunny with a clear sky. Wind 7G10 from the E. Our noon to noon run today was 124nm by the log.
Yesterday we motored from 1130 to 1930. Next to no wind and a sloppy sea. Then a new NE breeze came in and lasted until midnight. It got up to 12G17 knots and we used it to sail E. But by midnight it had faded and the motor came back on. We tacked N at that point.
We gave sailing another try at 1000 this morning when a new breeze seemed to be setting in. But that only lasted for an hour. This afternoon we finally cleared the Windward Passage and a nice 9G12 knot E breeze settled in and we were back sailing.
We are out of the Caribbean Sea! At 1500 we have about 35nm to go to Matthew Town.
