Echos of Nick Taylors lyrics, which accompanied his Cape to Rio video.."Rolling down to Rio, via Cabo Frio, oh so slow!" Last night the wind dropped to 7knots, and a quick look at the Gribs for the next couple of days does not promise much relief! We have little half hour flurry's where the
wind will pick up to 15/16, and then die down again. In two days we will cross the Vitoria Trinidade sea mountain chain, amongst which there are 11 mtr and 20 mtr peaks, which we will endeavour to avoid, in case the currents bump up the sea state. We managed 131nm yesterday, which was'nt too bad! Six more days of 125nm and we're there, just in time to celebrate Kates birthday for her! We are now on UTC-2, which is the last change until Ilha Grande, which is probably UTC-3. Position at 13.00(utc-2) 17.57S,32,43W, on course 255m, doing 4 to 5 knots! Time for a nap!
