Location: 39° 8 9 N, 65° 36 7 W
Wednesday 12:00, 03.29.2006
The Schooner Maggie B’s noon position on Wednesday, 29 March was 39° 08.9 North, 65° 36.07 West or 408 miles to Bermuda and 312 from Lunenburg. Course is 220, speed 6 knots under light Easterly. Main with one reef (see yesterday’s post) and the North Sails G2 gennaker, AKA “The Bird.” Seas smoothing out with just long NE swell.
The water has warmed up from 36° F to 57.9° since yesterday noon. We expect to enter the Gulf Stream around midnight tonight.
Saw many VLS’s last night (Very Large Ships). They seem to appear only after full dark. A large pod of pilot whales passed by us but didn’t stop to play.
All is well.
