Left Great Sale at 0926 this morning headed home to the USA.
We’ve had a good run so far. We passed Matanilla Shoal at 1740 and watched the water depth drop from 30 feet off our scale as we left the Little Bahama Banks. We were in the company of Grateful Attitudes and Our Turn (IP440) until that point. They are headed for Fernandina Beach as they can go 2 knots faster than us. We wouldn’t get there before dark on Wednesday night so are heading for Cape Canaveral.
Our current location is 27*30’N 079*23’W and we continue to put our position reports on the web site. Waves are around 4′ with winds 17-20 kts. We have a double reef in the main and a partially furled jib for the night. We’re making 6.9 kts over the ground! Noah is reading a story to the Beth & Brenda in the cockpit and we’ve had sandwiches and tuna spaghetti for dinner. Ginger Nuts for dessert to keep our stomachs settled.
We’ll be checking in with the other boats every hour to exchange position and weather info.
