Tracking Infini's path

N03deg08min;W084deg;24min. The correct website for YotReps is www.pangolin.co.nz. Again, you'd go to the website, look up YotReps, then plug in M's Ham Call Sign, which is KH4IHF, and you'll find Infini's position, which should be updated daily. This blog, of course, will continue to give our impressions of daily life aboard. Last night's run was a good one. We've had constant SW winds of 12-14 knots, making for 6.5-7.5 knots boat speed on a course of 175-180 degrees. Not exactly our rhumb line to Wreck Bay, but, hey, if we wanted a straight line we could have taken an airplane! We figure another 3-4 days to landfall, but we'll have a better idea in the next day or so as we're expecting a wind shift. For those of you non-sailors, we get our weather sources via the SSB radio, although we've learned thru the years not to take any of them as Gospel. You get what you get, and so often the local weather conditions are different from what the predictions have called for. Infini takes it all in her stride, and we have a variety of sails to respond to light and heavy weather sailing conditions. For example, we flew our new Code Zero light air sail the other day and it was beautiful! We couldn't keep it flying too long as the winds crept up and necessitated us changing to our Yankee jib, but it's a useful sail in our inventory.
