November 21th

Hello everyone well today is just like the last few days, after the 4 hour break you get up for your watch and wait for the wind to change. Last night around 1am the wind started to die and we thought for sure we were going to get our north to northwest wind, the wind gods were playing a game with us. The wind just died and we had to start the motor. We motored until 10am this morning and we currently have back the winds from the southeast 20 kts. We were suppose to have the north to northwest winds by now but no luck. We have decided to go to our 33 S way point and hopefully the northwest winds will appear, if they don't we will have to turn left to a 140 degree heading and start the motor. Hopefully the winds will change to our favor as predicted. The prediction was for us to have these winds at our present position. because we don't it makes us very leery about the rest of the forecast. This route has added another 55 miles to our already long crossing. The seas are small and the temp is a fresh 65 degrees. The nights are cold, only because we have been in the tropics for the last six months. Anything under 70 degrees is cold. Mike made his famous Thai curry chicken and some fresh veggies last night for dinner. Yum! Yum! Position S31 33.450 E 172 07.223
