Sea Child - Log Day 7: Half way to St. Lucia



The days are flying by on this big Atlantic Ocean, with each new day
bringing a different set of waves and clocking winds.  SEA CHILD is now
1283 NM to St Lucia.  At our current average of +230NM per day, we
expect to arrive by the end of the week.  Our watch system is awesome!
We have broken up the 24 hours into 2 hours on 6 off at night and
another unique timing of 3.5 hours on 10 hours off every 3rd day.  Today
we turned the clock back one hour to have the sun rise around 7:30 am
rather than 8:30.

A highlight of our day is the daily email that comes in, especially
those who are following the ARC from shore! We are sailing too fast to
fish, but having a great time seeing other ARC boats around us on the
AIS.  The crossing has been a wonderful experience so far :) with lots
of laughter and good spirits on board SEA CHILD.
