AS AT 08H00 UTC our position is at:
25.5S
27.50W
Yesterday the wind speeds started to drop off as forecasted. We are still sailing with full spinnaker dead downwind. The sea state has improved slightly. Last night was the same.. Nice to helm and be on shift but the speeds are down to the 6's and 7's..
For the past few days conditions have been very hot. Even night shift is done only in shorts and a shirt.
We are now sailing with less then a 1000NM to go to the finish.
Hard to give an ETA as the weather seldom plays ball, but at this point would like to at least break the 20 day barrier.
Best to all,
Dale and all aboard s/y Xtra-Link.
