"Much excitement on board as our team get closer to land. They're having fun in the easy trades."
-Captain Peter Willauer
Catch of the day - a 'little tunny'
Ship's Log
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 00:54:00 +0000
1815 pos: 19-37/62-39 according to two of four gps's on board, two of them in visiting Iphones. At 1940 we over the Puerto Trench and have 138 to go, and have stopped aggressive motoring with less that a quarter a tank of fuel left, most of which is in the leeward side of the mattress shaped tank, on the port tack, happily in the trades now, if only 9 or 10 kts. Not enough aft for the chute but doing a respectable 5kts and that will increase with the wind. So we won't make the 1700 customs deadline Monday. But the sailing is very nice and peaceful, a green flash again, all stars. Another JR special in the pressure cooker. Inflated the dinghy this morning, in anticipation of arrival - we store it and extra sails in the forward head! Crew getting on well and we are all looking forward to Nevis.
