Hi Abby,

Just checked P/W chart but I don’t know exactly where you’re at so I wouldn’t say anything, besides you have your own “professional” weatherman and I might add, much more reliable…lol… I’d probably have the sun shining down on you and in reality you’d be in the middle of a storm. So it’s best left to the men who are in the ‘know’. Take good care of yourself and don’t take any momentary ‘chances’. How’s Charlie and Mr. Doggie doing??? I noticed your map is starting to kick in.<br />May God hold you in the palm of His hand and may the Angels keep your sails full, and I, I will be praying for you.<br />Your faithful friend, fan and follower. <br />Michael (75) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-89069455824409977452010-05-26T13:53:46.591-07:002010-05-26T13:53:46.591-07:00I agree with the earlier post .

That's not normal.<br /><br />I think that you guys shoueld do something to maintain the interest in abby's trip.<br /><br />One update daily even if there ir nothing too relevant would be nice. Even an "Everything is ok and the autopilots are fine" is enough, but if you give us an update every several days, then maybe one visit to her blog once a week is more than enough, and i think abby deserves a lot more, and we her supporters too.<br /><br />Think about it, and compare the updates in this blog and the possition with jessica's blog and you would see what i mean.<br /><br />Not having any kind of news about abby makes me think that again something is very wrong with the boat or with the equipment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-83979722085074579872010-05-26T10:55:13.768-07:002010-05-26T10:55:13.768-07:00Must be great to be out there again.

If I ever get to Cape Town, I will stay there. Of course I will tell them that Abbey Sunderland sent me. That should get special treatment for sure!! Wonderful to know that all the fixes are working and that you are settling in for the haul. Sounds like you are really flying. Hope you can keep that up and hit the weather patterns right so as to avoid the worst of the storms. I tend to agree with not wishing to catch fish that can swim at 15 knots. I believe I'd keep the line in at those speeds to keep from snapping lines and loosing hooks and baits.<br />@ The many anonomyses: It is a simple matter to add your name to your comments. Please join the rest of the Abbecans, Abbicans, Abbeykins or whatever we are so we can feel your presence. C’mon Abbey who are we. It’s your call.Cobraroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447602248802525422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-47484909948972170042010-05-26T04:05:30.391-07:002010-05-26T04:05:30.391-07:00Hi Abby,

His little yacht was dismasted shortly before rounding Cape Horn - but he carried out repairs and alterations to his rig (without stopping the voyage) and has carried on. Truly amazing.

She had many troubles, big ones and small ones, and didn't conceal her hard or boring moments, even if she always tried to take it with humor and keep a positive attitude. You can still read all her blogs again (it will take some time, but is totally worth it!).<br />Go on Abby! Now that the autopilots are working well, it's the chart that looks ooo. Well, that's a minor problem, and it will give your shore team some homework to do too! Fair winds and Happy Indian Ocean!<br />PS Charlie looked great in Cape Town!
