Exocet Strike - 26-27 January 2017



The trip from St Helena to Salvador is pretty much a downwind leg.
We set off in the company of five other boats, a Paradise Found, left at 0800, Overseas Express left at 0900, Wishanger II left at 1000, we left with Golden Dragon at approx 1300 and Katarina at approx 1400. All night four of the above have been on our AIS system, except Paradise Found who was too far ahead to show up. Now only two remain, Overseas Express 6.5 miles ahead and Wishanger II approx 23 miles abeam of us (north of our current position).
The wind has dropped from 16 knots when we set off to only 9 as I type this, not helpful, hopefully it will fill in a bit for us, otherwise it will take another 13 or 14 days to reach land.
