Day 18
Position 14 January 2006 1100 GMT 17 degrees 21 mins North 51 degrees 41 mins West. Only 575.5 nautical miles to go.
We have had cracking sailing for the last two days - storming along at over 6 knots day and night, it has been a bit bumpy but when you see the miles dropping down it really doesn't matter. We had a full moon last night that you could practically read by, which made such a difference to the night watch as you can see the ocean all around rather than just hearing it. We heard this-morning that the boat who lost their rudder have had to abandon their boat despite an attempt by a trawler to tow them to Barbados. We really feel for them. - update 20/1/06 just heard they arrived safe and well in Barbados.
