Bowling Along



The ARC fleet are now bowling along with consistantly good winds and the remanents of a large sea - perfect surfing conditions.

A reef and poled out headsails seems a popular choice of rig for the cruising boats, but some are carring spinnakers and Parasailors.  Beremice (ITA) logged 320 NM in the last 24 hours, and that included taking her kite down at night!  The photo is from onboard Berenice.

Vaquita (AUT) continues to be the most westerly and the most northerly boat at 29.38N and 34.53W, still logging a cpnsistent 14 knots.  She is going north to keep in the strongest winds, something that most of the cruisers are trying to avoid.  Further south the trades are well established and blowing at 15-20+ knots from the north east - perfect for a downwind passage to Saint Lucia.
