COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE- Guyana to Tobago, Expect A.M. Arrival…..
Updating the position report ahead of schedule. 82 miles to go to the East end of Tobago, now abeam \”Boca de La Serpte\” (The Serpents Mouth). This is the passage between
Venezuela and Trinidad. The North passage is called \”The Dragon\’s Mouth\”… Sounds very Pirates of the Caribbean.
We had a mini boo boo today. The spinnaker tack blew out, no worries, got it all down quickly. We\’ve the full main and genneker up doing 8.5-10 knots for the last 10 hours; we\’re flying in really smooth seas on a beam reach. I\’ll update the position as we make the turn and then when we are anchored.
KIT,
Scott and off watch Nik
