We just put the biggest and lightest foresail up and are hoping to catch a little bit more of the light winds. Last night we already were very slow and our average speed over the whole trip dropped from 6.4 to 6.2 and it is still dropping! that does not sound a lot but on a voyage over 12 days its more or less one day at the end! The rest is fine on board, Emma is fit again and having a sunbath on the deck.
1230, 12°56S, 19°19W, 33°C, sunny with 30% cloud cover, wind: 5-8 KN, speed: 4-4.5 KN, 962 NM to Recife, Log 820 NM, av. speed 6.2 KN, course: 286°
All sails are up, fully main on the starboard side, together with the cutter, the genoa boomed out on the port side.
