16th August -  21.00hrs

Atlantic greetings from the bridge of MV Forth Hope

We're currently some 1564 miles off the coast of Brazil. Tomorrow 17th August will see us reach the half way mark in our 6800 mile voyage to Peru, and the half way point in our transatlantic leg from the Canaries to Macapa, Brazil.

Thereafter its just under 2000 miles up the Amazon!

The weather is good, the temperature building and the sea pleasantly calm.

Best for now,

Willie McPherson
