Rio Grande to Punta del Este - Day 2
18/03/13 22:44 Filed in: Brazil | On Passage
Overnight the seas roughened as the wind increased to ESE F6.
Noon run from berth 76.08 miles. Punta del Este 193 miles.
During the afternoon the wind backed to the east and eased to F4. We made good progress under main (3 reefs), ½ yankee and staysail.
Andre caught a Brazilian swordfish with his trailing line. A vicious looking thing that had us hopping about the cockpit when it wriggled off the hook.
No change during the evening as we made good progress with the wind on the port quarter.
