Sephina of Beaumaris - Dau 12 Are we there yet?
Dau 12 Are we there yet?
The dilemma of when is half way has played out over the past two days. The distance from Las Palmas to St Lucia is reported to be 2800 miles in the pilot books. We have so far logged 1525 so we are well over half way. Not so. As the route we have taken is via the Cape Verdes then the actual distance is 3000 miles. We achieved the former yesterday and the latter today. There is another half way which is when the rhumb line route to Las Palmas is equal to the rhumb line route to St Lucia. This will be later today. But is is actually when we have an equal number of days? As it is day 12 and the GPS says there is 11 to go then we are surely over half way. The only good news is that there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate half way. So far we have baked a cake, had a three course meal and tomorrow we might celebrate again with Nachos.
