Hup, Guppy, Hup! You are the best! Yeah! I established a new record: 194 nautical miles [359 kilometres or 223 land miles] in a day’s run. It is both a personal record and I even beated my father’s record by one mile [1,852 kilometres or 1,15 land miles]. The wind is coming a little more from astern and the waves have stopped visiting the cockpit. So now I can read a book sittting in the cockpit without having to deal with pages that are stuck together! Our current speed is about 7,5 knots [14 kilometres or 9 land miles an hour], and there are only 450 nautical miles [833 kilometres or 518 land miles] to go until I am at the half-way point!
