If you look at the coordinate values \u200b\u200bthat the public every day (and I come from Butch) you will notice that while the latitude (the height of the equator) varies little, what varies is the longitude. Precisely ride something more than two degrees of a circle of longitude per day. I say this because the coordinates of the point of arrival are 11.28N 60.21W. Today, Butch is about 38-39W. This means that to get to 60 it will still take about nine days. The account is easy and, moreover, we said we would have been about two weeks (today is the sixth ...).
regard to the situation on board the message is clear. Morale is high, but not let the wind and sea. And Mark and Naida are working more than I thought. You are probably much the rudder (rudder while hoping that the wind would have made much of the work). But the presence of cross waves (ie coming from more direzioni) e il vento sostenuto evidentemente rende necessario essere più presenti in pozzetto.
If you look at the grid references of the geographical position that I give you every day (actually they give it to me) you will notice that, while the latitude (the height above the equator) doesn't change a lot, the longitude grows at the daily ratio of more then two degrees. I tell you this 'cause the grid references of Tobago (the arrival) are 11.28N 60.21W. Today Butch is at 38-39W (more or less). This means that to get there it should take nine days more. In effect at the beginning we were talking of a two weeks crossing...
On board the situation is pretty clear. The mood is high, but wind and sea are still pushing. And Mark and Niada are working more of What They Could expect. Probably They Spend Most Of The Time at the helm (while tehir Was hope to leave That task at the windhelm They Have on board). But the presence of a choppy seas, with quite big waves coming from different angles, and the strong wind Force Them to be more active in the cockpit area.
