Nexus - A beautiful day for surfing!



We are surfing along on large following rollers on a beautiful day with good winds, the kind of day you dream of sailing in when it finishes raining! We're making good progress with 325miles to go, and as of this morning the nearest boat was Chika Lu, who has matched our speed over the last 24 hours, is astern by 84miles. It looks like we will make Port Louis in the early morning hours on Saturday the 11th, but the winds are expected to ease somewhat so that could change. Our friends on American Spirit are still making progress with their jury rig at 5kts supported by Merlyn and Follie A Deux. I had a tear in my eye when I read the crew of Merlyn tossed a line and sea bag over to American Spirit containing tools and homemade fudge! Its people like this that make us love the World ARC family as we do, and we're proud to sail with them.
