Before sunset we reduced the main to reef 2. However ETA was still something like 0300 – 0400, thus much too early. We took the main fully down and used only the genoa. Still too early. We put a reef in the genoa and got an ETA of 0630. That was fine for the time being.<\/p>\n
At 2100, when we changed watch, we put another reef in the genoa and have currently an ETA of 1000, which is a good time. This for a TWS of around 10 kn.<\/p>\n
Now we’ll see how the ETA status or changes and decrease the genoa more of increase the size again should the wind go down.<\/p>\n
Radar check every 20 min shows no vessel in the range of 16 NM around us.<\/p>\n
In the far distance the horizon is white. The lights of Colon and the eastern end of the Panama canal create this light pollution. I wonder how it will be when I’m in the Shelter Bay Marina.<\/p>\n
