day 25
Day 25 Yes you guessed it! day 25 finds us motoring in calm seas with about 50% cloud. Position 56 39.9'S 090 23.3'W. We have had a very light winds yet again. a couple of hours at 20 knots but not much else. Some snow and hail, I do love a good summer snow flurry, but not much wind.
We are starting to head north to the Horn now. About 770 miles to go to get there then 450 to Port Stanley. We should pass our point of being halfway between NZ and South Africa soon, probably about day 27. We will see if the South Atlantic gives us more wind or a faster passage for the remaining miles.
We don't really get a night time here rather a long sunset/sunrise of about 3 to 4 hours.. some lovely colours.
We know we are getting nearer to land as we can get medium wave radio stations inthe evening now. Plenty of spanish and some good music. RNZ is somewhat harder to receive though.
