"Bruce VanSant was right in spades. I left Mayanaugua about 1600 and am
happily chugging along at 1400 RPM making a comfortable 4.0 kts.
Yesterday I was at 2000 RPM making 2.0 kts. Awhile ago I went below to
eat some crackers. I was sitting at the settee with the crackers and a
cup of water on the table. The cup just sat there! It never tried to
turn over or jump off the table. This is the way to go...
I had a really good day today. Even took a nap. I feel fine. I am
cleaned up, the boat is in order, and I am hoping for an uneventful
passage. 44 more miles. At this rate I will get there at 04:00. I had
planned t slow down so as to not get there until daylight. It is a great
wide entrance onto the banks, so I may slip in far enough to be out of
the ocean and anchor, sleep some, before going in. I have about 10 miles
over the banks to get to Sapodilla Bay, and where I plan to anchor.
This is working well,"
