Om So,we are zig-zagging the ocean looking for a decent angle for the spinnaker. We keep the windvane system at 155-160 degrees and keep gybing as needed. We are grateful for the sunny weather …
Kristine It’s raining fish. We’ve literally gotten fish every day even though the weather has been too bad for fishing. Just this evening a flying fish jumped into the cockpit right beside me! Maybe …
Por Dos All is well here on Por Dos 6 days after leaving Tenerife. Only 1680 miles to go. Good winds since our delayed departure have given us a great run so far. We …
The Larrikin We look forward to meeting Pascal (Guiraudou) on the dock in Martinique, just leave some rum for us to enjoy after the crossing. We are watching with interest Mahé 3 as she …

Bear We are having fun. Two patches in the leach of the genoa. Old sail, oh well. Watermaker bearing is leaking onto head floor slightly. No sweat because we have a spare. Does make …
Sephina Atlantic crossing – week one Nov 24 A little too much excitement. At around 0200 with rising winds we decided we needed to drop the parasailor. Wind was a steady 25K gusting to …

The Larrikin Lou sun baking on the trampoline, Gordon fishing off the port hull and Phil catching up on sleep looking very relaxed. More seriously, ParaSailor is up and crew very relaxed, clear sky’s …
Serenity Sorry no update yesterday–it was too rough. We have changed course to 190 T to try and get to the trades faster as we are getting tired of rocking and rolling. Had …
Kristine Bumpy road. So the last few days we had very uncool winds. Straight on the nose, forcing us to either head for Mauritania or Greenland, not really getting anywhere. This morning we got …
