Location: At sea off of Port Canaveral
Latitude is 28 degrees 40.889 minutes north.
Longitude is 80 degrees 5.689 minutes west.

Current passage average speed = 8.38, distance = 249.10, duration = 1.00 days 5.00 hours 43.00 minutes.

No recent weather observation is available.

As fate would have it, the combination of speed, timing and weather makes St. Marys the best destination to land at.  Right now, my ETA is around 10:00 AM.  All is well on board, we are back in an OCEAN.  Yes!!!  Nice big rollers, no whitecaps, beautiful weather.  I'll take an ocean over a sea any day.

Last night I discovered my starboard navigation light was burned out.  I replaced the bulb this morning.  This morning I discovered the primary nav computer was missing a bunch of charts including the details of St. Marys.  So I had to copy them across from the secondary.

We are all alone out here except for a couple of sport fishing boats.  Last night we saw a few ships, but none close.

More details later.
