[status] Well, we finally made it to Roncador Reef. The winds were spot on during the first half of the trip, and then completely died down to 8-10kts ESE for the last 70 miles. All four models we used, the two PredictWind and GFS and ECMWF all generally agreed with wind from 14-19kts SE for the entire trip. We got that for the first half, but absolutely did not for the rest...so it was slower going for us. In fact the last 25 miles we had winds 7-9kts. ARG. We ended up having to motor sail some as we needed to arrive here during prime time for light. More later as we explore this beautifil spot. The only other boats here are three shipwrecks on the reef. I very old, and two probably within the last several years. Much to do and see...now off to bed for a nap.
