Two great days and now one of “those” days. I logged into the positioning website this morning to get my “fix” (pun intended) only to find Dignity had only made 7nm, as the crow flies, in the last 24 hours. As soon as I could I was on the phone to the dealer.<\/p>\n

So I now hear the plan was to test Dignity on the move and that the stop was scheduled to communicate progress to Lagoon. This contradicts the story I was first told – ie Dignity was on her way with only one stop in the Canaries planned. I did point out the discrepancy between expectations set and reality didn’t give comfort but at the end of the day I have to just realize this industry does not enjoy the level of professional maturity that is required to pass information around accurately. If you’ve been following this blog then this is no surprise.<\/p>\n

Oh. I did get an apology that the expectations set that she would leave on Sunday weren’t met and that she actually left port early Tuesday morning. How to read this piece of news I wonder. If I take this at face value this is very interesting news. I know that by 14:22GMT on Tuesday she was about 165nm minimum sailing distance from where she was berthed in Santander. If I do my Time Zone \/ Summer time math right (I’m terrible at this), if she left just after midnight Tuesday morning she had 16 hours to make 165nm. That’s a stonking 10knots average.<\/p>\n

I hope you can all forgive me for biting my lip on this one and waiting to see if this can be repeated under circumstances where I have confidence in the measurements and information I am being provided.<\/p>\n
