Finally NE tradewinds: 362 nm in the last 24h!

Yesterday, after an endless night of upwind sailing and squalls with rough seas, we've finally hooked on to the NE tradewinds. We hoisted the gennaker at 7 in the morning local time. This allowed us to keep a great speed average and in 24 hours Cape Arrow has covered 362 miles. Unfortunately this morning we had to drop the gennaker as we were sourrounded by squalls again.
We have 999 miles ahead of us  and we are getting wet again but the morale is high onboard anyway!
Our position is 20.07,6N and 044.36,3W and we estimate our arrival in Antigua on 15th.


We should be at the bar with our cold Wadadli (local beer) in our hands in about 4 days!
