48 hours = 300 miles

At noon today, exactly 48 hours after the start of the rally, we had traveled 300 miles. That is a pretty good clip for our heavy boat. We are a third of the way to Bermuda! The seas have calmed and currently we have all the sails up. The wind was consistent again blowing 15-20 knots all day.

So far our fix it at sea list is short. We lost one batten from the mainsail at the start of the rally. We (Joe) needed to install a cleat for the mainsail furling line in the cockpit yesterday. Then today just as Joe was attempting to make his second cup of coffee the propane solenoid failed. In true Joe fashion he fixed it quickly and the coffee was only delayed by an hour.

The crew is well rested and well fed. Dawn is feeling better! There was no hurling in the last 24 hours. Lol.

  2. So excited to read your journal entries. Do you have helpers on your boat with you as you cross over???
