Jan 20th-17’47 N-30’43 W Lots of squalls so going slower, did 179 nm, doing 6-7 kts
Jan 21st-17’12 N- 32’59 W- Caught a 10lb dorado, conditions were good, sunny, hot, altho they received information that a 50 ft sailboat-an Amel sailing to Martinque had gotten dismasted in where the mainsail took out the mizzen sail in 10 kts of wind, on this day they are 400 miles ahead of Ukiyo about 4 days out, theory could be a piece of rigging failed?
The plan is to catch up with the Amel and transfer fuel about 100 gallons if possible? Dan, Jeff are now trying to come up on how they will do this, as they have 1 jug onboard! Knowing these two their heads are spinning, some crazy thoughts but yet it will be a smart plan? I said to Jeff, Please, don’t go sucking on any hoses!!
Stay tuned for that day
Jan 22nd monday- 16’52 N- 35’39 W- 1500 nm to go
The other day the squall at 40 kts of wind got ahold of the Geniker as it was abit out, and tangled it up so the guys had to wrestle it and lay it down on the deck until winds became light, so on this day they were able to unwrap it as you can see the picture that was sent this is the way it went, looking more like a cork screw on the ocean. Am sure it was a Hoot!!
