December 1, Tuesday Day 13 GMT -8 , daily average speed 6.8 knots
Yesterday was the day of hopes, today is the day of goals. We set deliberately and
unconsciously different targets; sailed one third of the route, sailed half
o.s.v. When we sailed to French Polynesia we ticked off the latitudes.
On this stretch we tick off longitudes. Now we have
been looking forward a couple of days to crossing the W120 degrees, whhich means
crossing the border to Chile SRR (search and rescue region) and their
economic zone. This means that we will benefit from the Chilean weather reports
I have already been taking home these for a few days and think they are
good and easy to read. They state just where low and high pressure centers are.
In addition, father-in-law will be able to plot us on the chart again
since his chart of Chile begins at W120 degrees.
In a few days, we will also have sailed half the distance.
