Day 46
Day 46
Our current position is Lt. 41 31' S Lg. 009 50' W. The are 180 degrees of longitude from Dunedin. We are also about 70 nautical miles from Gough Island which is the destination island for this trip over all. Gough Island is home to many sea birds but otherwise uninhabited. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) are funding a pet eradication programme at the islands and Evohe is their support/transport vessel. For those interested I am sure an internet search will provide some good information.
We have had a good blow for the last day,from the wrong direction, so progress has been slow, however we have about 1400 nautical miles to go to Cape Town. This will be about 9 days at our current average speed but time will tell.
