update

Our current location, heading, etc.
1584 miles to go.
Bearing to waypoint (aka Barbados) is 273 degrees
Our current heading is 267
Our current speed is 7.3 knots

We had some trouble with the gennaker halyard twisting once again. Looks like I'll have to replace it. We managed to get the sail hoisted though due to a great suggestion from Anthony of using another line to help prevent the twist from occurring as it was going up. 20 minutes later the gennaker was flying and we kept it up until late in the day at which point I became concerned about excessive wind with it.

We are currently running dead downwind (DDW) wing-on-wing with full main and genoa in 18 knots of wind.
Night is falling, Antoine & Paddy are cooking up a storm; it smells great in here. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
