We are just below the wreck mark that is juust below the O of South China Sea 
The wind has increased a little and although the sea stil has some fetch to it conditions are a little better and we are making over 4.5 knots This brings our ETA forward to noon on the 13th 
The motion of the vessel is little improved with just the periodic slap of the odd larger wave 


The music today is from a great songwriter called Lucinda Williams 
First one upbeat and second one melancholy.
