Firefly - Right turn and its 2000nm to go



They say that you head West when the butter starts to melt. Well the fridge is working too well for this to be an accurate indicator. So after lots of sailing South West at 1800 on Wednesday we made the decision to start heading directly to Antigua. So after a spicy chilli supper we added a waypoint to the chartplotter for Antigua and turned right.

We have several sources of forecasting that inform us that a South Easterly will be well established by Friday so we are now heading West and hoping that this light wind spell will not drag on any longer, maybe we get some puffs of favorable wind later on Thursday. Unfortunately we believe that early next week there may be another quiet spell... maybe the wind gods will work some magic for us to avoid this.

Paul, Murray, Peter and Grateful (a seagull has taken and interest in him)
