Delivery Day 21


Just over 80 miles to go now. The GPS is giving us an ETA of 22H17 off the harbour entrance which would make it precisely 22 days, to the minute! That time is based on averaging our current speed for the rest of the way. Based on the latest forecast GRIB data the computer is giving an ETA of 23H14. My best guess is that we should be off the breakwater sometime before midnight and alongside soon after.
Yesterday we ran under the masthead asymmetric spinnaker in a SW breeze for a while but around midday the wind suddenly switched to SE and we were back to using the main and #4 jib. We motorsailed for a while in the afternoon in light and shifty winds but in the evening we got going again as the south easter began to build in force.
So far the bird life has remained much the same as the past couple of weeks, only the pelagic species are to be seen. As yet there is no hint of land anywhere other than a large piece of kelp which floated by.
A container ship crossed our bow this morning, eastbound.
Once again, a big thank you to Xtra-link and Vizada for making this voyage possible. It has been great using their equipment and services.
I will try to send one more updated ETA early this evening, otherwise we can be expected some time between about 22H00 and midnight.
