Another good day in the office. The wind is back behind us, and Bertha is pulling us along nicely. A little more wind would be great, but given the 3-day drifter just past there has been no complaining as yet.
The 12 to 15 knots predicted for this afternoon / evening have not materialised, but we are still choofing along quite nicely. Our arrival in Rio will be a little bit delayed as a result but a conservative ETA sits at 20h00 Rio time (midnight SA time). That is of course assuming that the passage across the notorious "parking lot" is a swift one.
Oil rigs have started lining the horizon... the end is near. Carbo Frio by midday tomorrow, crossing the finish line by 20h00, and cold beers on the verandah by 22h00. Sounds like a plan I could live with!
Hold thumbs this North Easter plays ball...
** 172 nautical miles to go! **
You have been having to many carbs in your diet that you are dreaming of Carbo Frio by midday!
ReplyDeleteYou must mean Cabo Frio and the literal translation of that is "Cape Cold".
