Misto - Days 62-64: Flying the parasailor at last



Since last night we have had our parasailor up and this is enabling us to get a much better angle on our destination with these ESE winds. Regrettably, the promised winds from 120-130 degrees have not really materialized and the wind direction is tending to be variable from 90-110 degrees. Seas remain rolly but are down a little from the last few days enabling some domestic activities this morning, including bread making.

With the additional miles we had to do at the beginning of the leg to get down to the trade winds, we are now past half way and have just over 1500 nautical miles to go. For those from the east coast of the USA who make the annual trek to the Caribbean, this distance starts to feel familiar and not so daunting.

We have caught no fish aboard Misto so far on this leg - a couple of bites that got away long before they reached the boat. A few boats have had more success but we are not hearing daily stories about the fish landed.
