Comments: A new distance record set once again! During the last 24 hours, 1200-1200, we achieved 219 nautical miles!!! Now however the wind is slackening so we can hardly expect a new distance record on this leg. Atmospheric humidity and heat is making themselves increasingly felt. You are sweaty day and night. But being warm is also nice, so we do not complain.
Work to install the air conditioner is continuing. There is plenty of work and the seaway does not make things easier.
