Well on way, but clear its going to take abt 6 days rather than hoped for 5...We were meant to have a 1.5kn current behind us all the way up past Colombo (rather than taking a direct line against a current forecast by model)... But instead have had up to 2.0kn against for much of last 20hrs... grrr (hence SOG averaging less than 4 compared to 6-7 expected).
Oh well guess it just confirms models and modellers aren't infallible, after all ;-).
At least we have a glassy sea & all's well aboard!
