COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE – Namibia to St. Helena Island – Day 3-140nm
A record day! The slowest sailing day we\’ve ever had. 140 nm is a dud for us. Nikki however was on the \”record day\” last season at
238 nm in one day. As you can see..we don\’t have a lot of wind. We\’re still sailing into less! To turn and go the other way means motoring or
sailing toward Angola. Motoring is an option….Angola isn\’t!..:-)
It is LOVELY out here and the calmest passage I\’ve ever had, so a rainbow yet lines the clouds. The winds will pick up on Wednesday and by Friday it will be much more
than we want; up to 30 knots. Hence, we\’ll enjoy the warmer weather, less clouds and the water is warming significantly.
The blog is up!..
Cheers,
Scott and Nikki
