Xena off SE Vietnam

09:45 this morning: 09'52n 109'16e
Position at 09:45 this morning:
09 52 N, 109 16 E
All well.

Distance made last 24 hrs: 167 nm.

Experiencing now: Big seas, 25 Knots  from N and NE, as per Passage weather.


Forecast: continuing 20-25 knots N and NE, becoming lighter into Straits of Malacca, over weekend, 5-10 knots from E and NE, as low weakens.

Tracker: the light on board is green, so it should be working. It's still not.... Have to go back to Tracy at PredictWind in NZ....

Halyards: seems that all are 14 mm, though it's possible that Gen2 is 12 mm. (they don't have accurate rope-diameter measuring tool on board).
Grant reckons there should be no problem swapping some out and changing over so that we only need two new ones: Main halyard and Spin2 halyard (the fractional).

  2. PF to Tracy,
    Hi Tracy,
    Just spoke to Grant, and he says green light is ON. No other light on.
    So, should be working, no?
    ..
    Cheers, and hoping we can fix...
    Thanks your help.
    Peter
