Southern Child - Day 12 06/12



Day 12 06/12
Position 1200: 17* 04' 80N 049* 05' 49W
Daily Run: 165Nm
Distance to Waypoint: 706Nm
 
Finally we got our day and night of consistently good winds again, 15-20 knots and a wind direction of 130 which has let us sail right on course. Perhaps it's thanks to the magic powers of our new friend, Winston the Winch. He's a handsome winch sporting a rip curl visor, fake Ray-Bans and a dish towel with utmost flair (though his eyes are a bit creepy). If nothing else it's good to see a new face around here. We still have days to go but our focus is building. Staying straight on target gets more important the closer to the finish line we get. And it's starting to sink in that we are actually going to be back on land this year/week!
Highlight of the night: We all huddled up close as Gum-Flapping Cedric kept us spellbound with his tale of the man with the golden arm. If you sail with him one day, make sure to request it!
