Position: 51,55.95S , 56,10.24W Speed: 7 knots, Course: 33 deg. We are slipping along at 7 knots in 4 knots of wind thanks to our Code 0. These powerful sails make light air incredibly less painful.

We are riding along in the same location on the front because we […]

Position: 55,51.18S , 112,21.65W Speed: 20 knots, Course: 94 deg. Got past 122W trying not to think about all the good things I miss from my home town area in Marin County, CA.
