Second Wind - Tortola in our sights!



All the hard slog to get to longitude 65W yesterday has paid off at last, and we are finally able to point the boat at Tortola, instead of the Dominican Republic! The forecast came good, and the winds are from the east. Sadly, there isn't much of it, so we have decided to sail when the wind is above 6 knots, and motor when it is not, until we get to the stage where we need to keep the last gallons for navigating round Tortola into the marina at Nanny Cay, hopefully in time for the party on Saturday night.

The rules for the Cruising Division Race allow for 30% of total time to be spent under motor, so we are well within that limit (and will have run out of diesel long before), but now the deadline to qualify as a finisher is 12:00 AST Saturday.
Will we make it?
