7) Bonifacio, Corsica, France

Bonifacio, Corsica, France 41°23’ N 09°08’.8 E
Menorca, Spain, Puerto de Fornells 40°03.9 N 04°08.2 E

It’s 4:15pm and I’m on watch from 3 to 5 on our way to Menorca.  The black line is the planned route and the red line is the actual route.  We gotta go where the wind blows. 


John and Alan are asleep.  The wind is from behind at 20-25 knots and we are running with just the main up.  Our speed is between 6-7 knots.  The seas are building and they are just about 3 to 4 foot wind waves.  The swells are negligible.  The boat is slowly rolling along as I sit at the navigation station looking aft out the window.  We expect to arrive at our destination in about 38-40 hours or around 9am on November 2.
