Hi All. Here’s a quick update on our position on Day 2 of our crossing.
We have travelled 203 miles. The average speed is 6.5 knots and last night we posted a speed in an epic surf down some large waves of 14.3 knots!
It has been a beautiful sail so far. Yesterday the winds were light until darkness fell and then then blew with a fury for a few hours, peaking at 35 knots. Thankfully this is all downwind sailing so far and, so pretty much all night we were whisked along, averaging 9 knots. The wind died this morning, and we have a very slow day. A chance to catch up on some sleep and get in to the rhythm of the journey. It usually takes a few days to adjust!
Here’s our current position as of 1500 local time today.
Catch you again tomorrow!
Dom & Ailsa on SV Azimuth
Hello Ailsa & Dom
Lovely to catch up with you on Day 2. Please let us have photos of the Marquesas as you go by, I might just remember them.
It will come as no surprise that my Birthday message is here for Dom. It comes with lots & lots & tons of love. You see, Dom, you may have escaped Blighty but you can’t escape a Birthday on SV-Azimuth. Wish I was sharing it with you both. Love Wags & David xxxxx
Thanks Wags! It was a wonderful way to spend a birthday. Very relaxing!
