Most of our passage so far has been on the continental shelf. Today the winds suggested we head east, which is good since Mar del Plata is at longitude 57 W. As we crossed off the shelf and into deeper water we suddenly had all sorts of AIS targets. At least 4 Chinese fishing ships, each over 270 feet long and running just off the shelf in a line. Most of the targets were fishing but there was one tanker and a cargo ship as well. Most we did not have to worry about which is always good, and no surprises.
Rich added more fuel to the aft tank. We are have been running the engine only to charge the batteries. As the alternator is not running full, since only one belt, it takes a little longer. And we are not running the heater since it appears we took a wave from the stern and have water in the exhaust. It never ends
But, we are making progress and look forward to arriving soon.
Soon...
