Approaching Fernando de Noronha
08/09/02
My drip came back again yesterday afternoon, and has dampened my sheet pretty thoroughly. I was able to rig something up with my t-shirt at the source of the leak to prevent further damage and water torture.
It is now 0900 and we can see Fernando ahead. This will be a very welcome landfall. The motion of the boat for the last day and a half has been most erratic. It is like the boat, sitting at a 20 degree heel, is moving through space in a spiral, as the waves are tossing us from the side, up, down, right, left, in random order. It will all be over with in two hours and we will be safe at anchor (hopefully).
