Day 12 -Easy sailing

Not much to report over the past 24 hours. The autopilot had continued to work well and everyone is catching up on sleep.

I’m on the midnight to 3am shift now and it was a very penetrating cold last night. It felt as if the fog was actually inside the cockpit enclosure. Every surface was soaked to touch and there was nowhere to escape to.

The wind held all night but just kept pushing along the fog with us.

We are having to use the radar more often now. Although I didn’t see any ships on my watch, Kevin had two different AIS targets on his watch but none were close enough to see visually.

Our noon to noon run was pretty good at 143 miles. Since we are out of the really consistent pressure I’m not expecting many big mileage days any more. Anything over 130 miles a day is going to be considered a win if we don’t need to run the engine.
