Into the recommended transit corridor for ships (or rather a 2nm wide separation zone between the two 'lanes', at 0500 this morning. Since then its been hard going initially, as there is quite a contra-current and little wind. Still, in the past half hour there are signs of the current easing and wind increasing slightly...It should be net positive over the whole section, so haven't been not toooo bothered...but still, Yay!

All being well, we should be on this heading for the next 470nm, or 3 and a half days or so, before turning NE to head up to the Red Sea.

The weather continues to be great..except the crew (Mili excepted) are now feeling the growing chill in the evenings and need a shirt on, it being 'only' 25C at night!

(Dist so far=1514nm, DTF c. 1083nm, last 24=113nm)
