Update 27 April 2010

Mike sends us a report for Pangaea.

"Progress has been slow along Sumatra's south western coast. The boat speed dropped to 7knots due to a strong 40knot headwind. We have about 100nm to go until we arrive at Padang and are beating into a SW swell and big waves. It is not deep water along the coast and we have to be on the lookout for coral and small islands. All this is made very difficult with constant horizontal rain. We hope conditions will improve soon."
