Another good day - we seem to be getting some good speeds out of Newt - not sure if its her fresh bottom paint or the confidence we have with the new pole? We have had steady winds which dropped from yesterdays 35 knots (thankfully!) and eased throughout the day. We pulled the reefs out of the genoa just before dark and then pulled the reef out of the main at around midnight. The seas were quite big yesterday after the winds and we were surfing down them pretty quickly - however they too have dropped off overnight to more of a swell today than real waves as such.
We were still within 15 miles of Christine Anne last night and hope to be so this morning. With any luck we should make landfall in the San Blas at Holandes Cays on Banedup Island around 4pm today with enough light to spot the coral on the way in!
Distance run in 24 hrs - 154 n/m

Glad to hear you guys are doing so well. We are still in Cariacou and enjoying not having to rush anywhere. We hope that the San Blas Islands are as good as everyone says they are; if so you should be in for good time.
Best wishes,
Jeremy and Kathy
