SAIL THE SOLOMONS 98

by Allen Grundy, on 19 May 1998

The first night on deck was magnificent with SW up to 15knots and the moon lighting up the deck.

We cross the line at 2347 local time and share congratulations with each other. We have done it under the power of sail, completed 1307 nautical miles in 167¾ hours for an average speed of 7.8 NM per hour.
