COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE – Namibia to St. Helena Island – Day 1-160nm
We\’ve gotten a decided case of the slows the last two hours. We\’re flying the spinnaker but only making 6 ish knots.
We\’re also having to head up (toward the south) to keep the apparent wind speed up. The wind should move to the ESE/SSE later this afternoon
or tomorrow and we then may gybe to head north to fresher breeze. Now, that would head us toward Angola!…:-)
All is well, 1160 nm to go. Blog has been posted….. www.svbeachhouse.com
