For the last 24 hours we’ve been experiencing the winds Dignity thrives in. The winds have settled into a range between 15 and 20 knots. We have as much power as we want as we can regenerate for as long as we need and we’ve managed to put in over 160nm as the crow flies. The boat as traveled a little further through the water as a result of the differing levels of crew attention to the direction we’re traveling. I haven’t been taking snapshots of the log so I’ll need to download our track and calculate actual distance traveled in 24 hours. I’ll try that in a few days. If we maintain these speeds we’ll arrive around May 2nd.<\/p>\n

Deck count yesterday comprised 5 flying fish and 9 squid. We’re beginning to realize just how hard we need to look for these dead critters as I managed to find a squid on top of the cabin roof tucked out of sight underneath a line cover.<\/p>\n

My spirits were certainly higher yesterday compared to the previous 24 hours. Getting out of the low winds was partly responsible. Catching a mahi mahi helped too despite it being a small 6lb one (weighed after bleeding).<\/p>\n

I’ve progressed ordering a replacement light air sail and am just awaiting responses from agents in Tahiti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
