ONBOARD: RUTH & RANDAL JOHNSON

COMMENTS: WHAT A DIFFERENCE 24 HOURS CAN MAKE. WE TOOK IN OUR PARAVANES THIS MORNING AS WE NO LONGER NEED THEM BUT THEY SURE DID A GOOD JOB WHEN WE DID. RUTH AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER TODAY. YESTERDAY I WAS SO SEASICK I COULD NOT DO THE NOON REPORT.

WE SHOULD ARRIVE IN COCHIN TOMORROW MID DAY. WE HAVE A 1.5 KNOT ADVERSE CURRENT AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT WILL CHANGE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU BACK EAST OF US I SUGGEST YOU WAIT FOR A BETTER WEATHER WINDOW. THE 2 TO 2.5 METER SEAS AND THE 25 KNOTS OF WIND FORECAST WAS TRUE BUT THE WAVES WERE FAST, STEEP, AND BREAKING. WE ONLY GOT RELIEF FROM THEM WHEN WE HAD THE INDIA TIP EAST OF US.
