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!
