Dec 17

Our position at 1200 UTC today was 18 34.5 N, 51 17.0 W; course 280 magnetic. We are 2160 miles out of Las Palmas with 606 to go to Antigua. Made 168.6 miles in last 24 hours for 7.025 knot average. Looks like we will arrive inAntigua Tuesday night or early Wed. Weather is good--the trades are setting in. We have NE15 winds with a sea of 6-8 feet which makes for a lumpy ride with the seas on our stern quarter. Wind should clock more east over time and make for a better ride. Had one strike yesterday, but no fish. Had Phad Thai for dinner which was quite excellent. A group of spotted dolphins came around yesterday to greet and play. We seem to be getting the Daytona sailmail station now which could make emails easier.
