[PUP] Summer Skis 05/31/07: Trivia on the highseas

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

Date: 31 May 2007
Time 1200
Position
30.29.05 N
74.06.22 W
Distance covered from the dock at Coral Ridge Y.C. 503
Distance traveled last 24 hours; 147 NM
Approximate distance to go: 483 NM

Yesterdays mileage was in error as it related to distance from Coral Ridge Y.C.
I think I have corrected my calculations.
The last 24 hours has been very easy compared to previous days. As 
you can see we have been slowed down by head winds, seas and adverse 
currents.
We are adjusting our speed to get into Bermuda Sunday before noon as 
there is a possibility of poor weather late Sunday and Sunday night.
Both of our weather routers are saying the weather will change later 
in the week. Hopefully with the increased speed we will miss most of 
it.
Each day each boat posts a "trivia" question that is to be answered 
at the 2000 roll call.
Our questions are of the New England boat type and we have gotten 
some interesting answers.
Today's question posed by SS is: How far is New York from Rhode 
Island? The answered: 1.2 Nautical miles. The distance from 
Wickopisset rock off Fishers Island to Nappatree Point Rhode Island.
Tomorrows question will be: What popular New England Island is know 
as "The Bermuda of the North?" Answer: Block Island
The weather is clear and there is no need for air conditioning.
We have see a number, about 5, very large fish jump completely out of 
the water about 300 yards from the boat. We have no idea what they 
are.
The boat continues to perform well and last night was steak night. on 
the grill.
We are looking forward to our arrival in Bermuda on Sunday.
