2 November (2nd edition)

Day 3
We have just begun day three at sea and we continue to make good progress. We are now at the half way mark and will probably be in on the 6th or seventh of November. We have had variable breeze all night with an apparent wind angle of between 50 and 65 degrees up to 18 kts apparent. I don't know for sure what the true wind speed is as my speed log has quit working.
This is despite the forecast which predicted no wind at all.
The seas have moderated quite a bit and the voyage is quite comfortable so far but it's really getting cold and we both have to layer up at night. We may also have to post an iceberg watch also. We are now again in the eastern hemisphere after more than three years
Current position is 28 09 7S, 179 09E Speed 6.8 kts course 201 M Wind SSE 12 kts Swell 2 metres SE
