and have been under Spirfurl through the night (we have full moon and can
see squalls coming). Consequentially, we have now got a new day's record run
of 178 miles for Invincible! We are now powering our way towards the half
way mark and the glass of wine and chocolate we have been saving to
celebrate later today is chilling. The downside of the Spirfurl is the wind
angle required by it makes a less direct route, so the total has been
readjusted because of this and as we are now counting down on the GPS which
also added a little for our previous northing.
Conditions continue to be good, bright blue skies with a more consistent
wind strength but with a fairly large swell.
Distance covered noon to noon: 178nM
Position @ noon: Lat 14 59.410N, Long 42 36.916W
Total distance = 1066nM
Distance to run = 1116nM
