Noon Position L26^-31'N, Lo076^-04'W, or about 55 nm east of Marsh Harbour
I have been fussing with sails all day.
I
was able to sail west for about 10 hours before the south wind shifted
back to the south west. I did get about 50 nm closer to the islands
during that time. But now I am again trying to sail into the wind as I
work my way down the islands. To make matters uncomfortable there has
been strong wind today. For awhile during the week a gale was
forecasted, but that has reduced to just strong wind. But the find makes
the ocean very bumpy, and it is hard to write. At some time the wind
will be such that I can make it into the islands, where I can anchor and
just wait for wind that will take me where I want to go. (It's really
bumpy...)
We are posting these dispatches in a blog, with some of the messages I have sent to Normandie, lots
of pictures of other passages, and a link to my satellite
position reports which are shown on a map, so what I am doing will make
more sense. No, maybe what I am doing doesn't make sense. Oh well...
Anyway,
go and see what it looks like. This is new this week. Of course I
haven't seen it yet. Somebody let me know if you can find it OK. The
way to get to it is to Google on: Adventtwo.blogspot.com
Too bumpy. Gotta stop
