And here, we archive the adventures of the Maggie B from port to port.

Location 19° 43S, 144° 21W
Thursday, 10.18.2007

The Schooner Maggie B was at 19° 43S, 144° 21W at noon on October 18th. We are making 7.2 knots to the ESE in a somewhat punishing, confused sea. The wind is from the Northeast at 20 knots and it is overcast with occasional light rain showers.

We have come 1114 NM from Rangiroa (via Papeete) and have 3779 NM to go to Puerto Montt.

We have about 3/4 of a knot current with us, which is probably the reason for the difficult sea.

We are sailing a course to stay clear, to the South and West, of the French Nuclear Test Area, where we expect we would be unwelcome.

The boat is sailing well, and all systems are working fine. Our only problems, besides the rough sea, are little things like iPods that won’t sync and new cameras the produce unintelligible error messages.

All is well.
