Would you believe we&#8217;ve been sailing most of the night? OK, it is a run (which we do not like) but hey, this is a lot better than motoring! And, we&#8217;ve set a new personal best for continuous time in one squall. We&#8217;ve been surrounded by the same wet weather now for the past six hours. It is only now starting to ease up. <\/p>\n<p>The barometer is now fluctuating around 1017 mb. That&#8217;s a drop of a couple of Mb If we didn&#8217;t have the experts telling us otherwise, we&#8217;d be worried. Doesn&#8217;t take much of a pressure differential at these latitudes to create problems. <\/p>\n<p>The E to ESE winds we&#8217;ve been sailing in indicate a low center to our NW. Be interesting to see the NMG faxes a little later, hear what Commander&#8217;s has to say, and check out the chopper models. Acapulco is now just 15 hrs away, and Manzanillo a little less than two days &#8211; both of which are good stopping places if we are forced to wait out any weather developments. <\/p>\n<p>The biggest news is that we&#8217;ve finally gotten the GPS and speedometer to agree! Up until last night, we&#8217;ve been losing an average of about 1.5 knots\/hour &#8211; 36 miles\/day to current. Right now the current has gone away. Hope it stays wherever it went.<\/p>\n<p>Just 1560 miles left to San Diego&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1560 miles to go &#8211; Six hours in the same squall, and the GPS and speedometer finally agree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[145,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beowulf-logs","category-dashew-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
