43 25.970 S, 56 45.108 W, Hdg 354 T, SOG 6.0 Winds 13-18 SW
Last night and early this morning we continued northeasterly then the winds started to clock around to the west and then southwest. Now we are on the rhumb line to Mar del Plata, with about 335 nautical miles to go in a straight shot. Not sure how long our weather window will last as it is supposed to build and swing around to the north and we do not want to be caught in an easterly as they may close the port.
So we are motorsailing to maintain speed, especially when the winds were very light, read 3-7 knots.
The lazy jack lines on the starboard side of the boom broke but we did a temporary repair. The leech line of the staysail needs repair also.
Looking forward to Mar del Plata and ice cream!
