Day 6 - crossed the 48th parallel

47 19.311 S, 061 14.127 W

I spoke (wrote) too soon last night when I said that the winds and seas had lessened. Last night the winds got up to 50 knots and we were screaming along with speed over the ground as much as 11 knots! FLYING

This morning it was in the 20-30 range and over the course of the day it has dropped down to 10-20. the seas are about 1.5 meter swells and have come around from SW to more westerly. We are taking advantage and heading NE.

The water temperature is only up to 8 degrees C. We are hoping it starts to warm up soon.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
