Tuesday November 24th day three

Last night I got over my sea sickness with one final throwup in the
middle of the night. I climbed back into my lee cloth and went back to
sleep. This morning I woke up feeling much better. After everybody was
up we put up the Parasailor which is a large sail for sailing down wind.
It has been going very well for the last few hours. We are averaging 7.5
knots which is fairly fast for this boat. The weather is beatiful and
the waves are not too big. We sailed 170 nautical miles between 1 pm
yesterday and 1 pm today.

The yacht that lost its rudder yesterday was abondoned because they were
sinking. All of the crew were safely rescued, and returned to Las
Palmas.
