Rock'n & Roll'n Straight for Martinique



Midwatch 1-16-14 8:13 AM EST

Hi All,

Kim here. Bob is napping this morning. We finally have wind from the east this morning and we are aiming directly towards Martinique at around 5 knots. With the wind behind us, the roll is back, which means anything not tacked down takes on a life of its own. We have had flying crackers, honey, a popcorn bowl and little toy cars all zipping about. We also have more squalls which means Bob was up on other's watches as well as on his own two watches. With three of us taking three hour watches, the watch schedule rotates and every three nights you end up with two night watches instead of one. Bob hit that last night too.

 

According to the GPS we have a little over 1,100 nautical miles to go which puts us there in eight to 10 days. Our stores are still solid with each of us adding to the menu. Each of us have now caught a fish. Anna wanted fish cakes with her fish and we had those for dinner yesterday, it was quite a treat. We will attempt to make fish nuggets with Finn's fish today. 

Our current position: 
15º 19.191' N 
41º 48.793' W
