15.3089N,51.4081W
24 hr progress: 9.1 Nautical Miles (1 nm = 1.85 km)
Distance left to Antigua (straight line): 588 Nautical Miles ( 1087 km)
Distance completed: 2684 NM (4965 km)
Wave height: 10-12 ft, Winds: 15-18 knots NNE, Bearing: 230-260 degrees.
Rain last night and I've been fighting to get north all day but I've blown pushed south by the wind to 15.30 deg N. I was planning to maintain my level between 16N and 17N (Antigua is at 17N). Still have 500 odd miles left to go and I am making progress W. The weather forecast for this week predicts consistent Easterly winds = good news. A very tedious day otherwise. Inching my way forward.
Apologies for the short post, very tired.
81 days in solitary confinement. Will write more on the state of my mental health shortly.
