Flop. flop…

We are now 434 miles from Panama, but still have 934 miles to go to Antigua… when you have to go upwind you can never go straight where you want to!

Our position at 1546 UTC is 16 26N, 78 13W, course 35-40 mag. at 9kts, wind is 85-90 at 16-18kts.

Serge make some delicious chicken last night, which was the last of our fresh meat. It’s the cans and freeze-dried from here on out! I am getting into the groove now, eating more and having fun driving through the waves. We also saw our first freighter since Panama this morning, crossed just a mile or two front of us.

Antigua seems like forever away, but this is what it takes! Attached is a shot of the main with one reef, the same setting since we left Panama, and shot of Serge about to get soaked…
