Decision Time

It's Friday, 10:30 a.m. We've been sailing at 6-8 knots on a beautiful beam reach since 1 a.m. Fantastic! We're 267 miles from Mindelo, Cape Verde. After listening to the weather report tonight from Herb (the weather guru), we will decide if we should stop there. Right now, we're leaning toward a yes. The forecast calls for no wind at all this weekend through Tuesday. If we push south of the islands, we'll hit squally weather. Decision: Do we sip bubbly with friends at Mindelo? Or do we motor along with no wind? Or do we move down into the squalls just to find the wind? My vote is for the bubbly!
Current Position: 18.25N 020.31W - You can see where we are by clicking on the position link on this page

    Sounds like you are going to have to change the heading on this blog page from "...crossing the Atlantic Ocean in December 2010" to "...crossing the Atlantic Ocean in December 2010/January 2011." Wishing you guys some good wind!
