a missed post

Now that we hit land and could see our emails etc noticed we sent one of the posts to the wrong email for Laura.  Here it is below.

Position N  33 d 11.27
         W 066 d 32.26

Time 09:30 EST  27 Dec Course trying to go higher than 155 degrees to miss Bermuda.

We are still sailing, so our diesel is still fairly intact, when, or if, we hit the doldrums. Or if we get some more head winds.  Last night it was touch and go for a while if we would have to crank them up or not.  The wind dropped off to nearly nothing and backed as well.  So for a while we were heading straight for Bermuda at slow 2-3 knots.  It is now under a hundred miles away but we will get "a lot" closer on present course unless the wind gives us a favorable shift.  We may end up tacking for a short while.  We do need to fire up those engines for a while later on anyway so that might give us the extra insurance to clear Bermuda.  The solar panels are just shy of keeping up with our consumption and that is with the fridge off.  Not sure why as it has a huge solar array.  But then again the sun is so far south at this time of the year, with the boat almost heading south they do not really get the exposure they should.  But our drinks are getting warm so some diesel sacrifice might be in order for a couple of reasons.  We can't pull into Bermuda for ice or diesel as we discovered we have no chart.  Oh well without any steering cable it is probably a good thing to stay at sea.
