\"ARC-2010<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Position: 26 11’23.09 N, 021 38’42.83 W. This morning’s sunrise was particularly spectacular. We had a wonderful light show in the east, followed by the full moon setting in the west<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now in our second night at sea, we are settling into the comfort of our well worn seagoing routine. Meals are a focal point, and we are catching up on rest, reading, taking a few photos, and keeping watch both outside and in the engine room.<\/p>\n

\"ARC-2010-Passage-1-2\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fleet is well behind us for now. The big Swan was just nine miles back last night at midnight, but we put 40 miles on her so far today. We may need the distance to hold her off if we ever get into the trades.<\/p>\n

\"ARC-2010-Passage-1-3\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The real race right now is between us and an oncoming trough with it associated headwinds. As this matures it will spread discomfort and dismay – this is supposed to be a downwind passage. With a steady 11 knots of boat speed it may be possible to move through the headwinds while they are still light. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
