COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE – Namibia to St. Helena Island – Day 5 – 165nm
If the current wind holds this speed for the day, tomorrow we\’ll most likely stretch out the distance.
The winds will be somewhat steady until this p.m. then down a bit before finally just building up well into the 20+ knot range the day or two
before our planned arrival at St. Helena. We should be there on Sunday night or Monday morning if all goes as expected.
The sea state has certainly picked up and we\’ve a pretty good size swell from the SW. Nothing to worry about, just we\’re a bit less comfy than those nice first
slow days. Ah the \”good old days\”….:-)
