Almost halftime
From around 6 in the morning the wind picked up and we reached around 15knots in surfing down the waves. The autopilot had problems coping with that and we also started to think about taking the Parasailor down. Tucanon, a Lagoon 440 and Blonde Moment, a Hallberg Rassy 40 had their Parasailor down since yesterday evening.
Blonde Moment was 12miles behind us yesterday evening and is now 53 miles behind. This shows how fast we were going.
Now we have the genoa out and are doing 6knots. This is slow but comfortable. Less noise and less nerves used. The autopilot is running in the lowest setting also. Lets see if we can bring it up again tomorrow.
Linocat has 1439 miles to go. Tomorrow we will reach half the distance to St. Lucia.
Our position is 18°31,5N and 036°23.5W
