COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE- St. Helena, Island to Ascension Island -Day 03 – 167 nm
We\’ve 210 miles to go to the SE corner of Ascension Island. Wind is a bit light, but conditions are extremely comfortable.
We HOPE to be at anchor by tomorrow dark. It\’ll be a bit of a push, but I think we\’ll make it. Lots of commercial mooring field stuff to avoid
and I want to get into the shallower area to anchor closer to the beach; but NOT in the dark. We\’ve a waypoint outside the commercial field in 18 meters (60 feet)
of water if we need to anchor outside for the night. Friends Dave and Kathie on \”Sunflower\” are only about 12 hours out of Grenada and had a record (for them) 199 mile day yesterday. \”Sunflower\” must be smelling the barn!…. Or at least the Admiral is….:-)))
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
