On Cruise Control



Midwatch 1-5-14 9:05 AM EST


Hi all,

Had a nice run of about 135 miles yesterday considering we are only using our genoa and adjusted it maybe 3 inches in the last 24 hours. This trade wind sailing is something you can really get used to. 

Sea sickness appears to be behind us. Our night time temperature went up one more degree to 69 Degrees F. 

Anna and Mark have been working on GoPro filming so we should have LOTS of cool video footage that will keep us busy editing over the next 20 years or so! 

Lines are in the water but no fish so far. 

Eating well. I think I am actually gaining weight this time around.

All in all nearly perfect sailing so there is almost nothing exciting to write about. 

Current Position: 
13:30 UTC 
24 Degrees 00.771 N 
023 Degrees 00.823 W 
Current Heading 250 Degrees True 
Speed about 5.5 kts Poled out genoa
