The Last Long Leg

7/11/2011:
It has been one of those days,  zig-zagging our way down the coast so we can turn the corner at Bolinao . It's been frustrating as the wind down to 15 knots but the direction has varied from SW to SE to S to SW so we've been motoring since this morning with an average speed of only about 4 knots maybe. When we started this morning we had 70 odd miles to this waypoint off Bollinao and we still have  27 to go so will reach it by about 2000 hrs. This means not arriving in Subic till Tuesday evening I think.

Position 15.55 N, 119.42E at 0700 and feeling good (Well, we finally made WP 14). We worked at it for 2 days against current, wind and adversity and made it.  May make Subic tonight, otherwise tomorrow morning.
