Going sailing on Timeless this morning. That means I won’t get to see today’s position fix until later. The suspense of it all!
… later …
News not so good today. Only 56nm covered in the last 24 hours. Now she’s probably traveled further but the point to point distance in the last 24 hours is all I get. Even more ominous the the fact she’s only 43nm closer to Las Palmas than the same time yesterday.
Looking at the weather where she is you can see why. Wind speeds appear to be 5 knots at best.
The only crumb of comfort is that yesterday when I was calculating ETA I measured miles to Las Palmas rather than nautical miles. So the optimistic ETA is still July 3rd. Question is – can I still use estimates of 150nm per day as a basis of predicting her ETA. Not too sure. I will wait a few more days. By Tuesday we should see some good weather so we’ll see what can be accomplished.
… later …
Another quick weather check. Dignity may just be sailing in 15 knot+ winds right now.
