Here is our next position report:
12*14.382' North
67*12.529' West
From 6 am Friday 17 December to 6 am Saturday 18 December we covered 154.1 nm - our average speed has been 6.42 knots and our maximum speed was 10.3 knots. This is taken from our water log. We seem to have picked up a bit of a current - 3/4 to 1 knot
The lumpy seas calmed some during the night and the swells were less frequent and seemed to drop in height. We were disappointed that this has not remained with daylight - seas more lumpy again and swells increased too with the sun!!!
We have had quite a bit of heavy rain - which makes watches a bit uncomfortable. Colin has put up our small sunshade to protect the cockpit area a bit better but it does cut out visibility, so we need to poke our head around the canvas and get a bit of a hair wash!!!
I started this report earlier, but had to close down as we had some lightning - the computer gets put into the oven with a few other electronic items.
The swallow didn't return but we had another swallow taking shelter during a rain squall this morning but he was not people friendly and kept his distance, though he did chirp his thanks when he left.
We have 73.7 nm left to go - hope we don't arrive in the dark!!!
Will send the next report once we have anchored and after we have caught up on much needed sleep.
Hugs and smiles
Colin & Sandy
