Starbuck Latitude/Latitude de Starbuck

We are at the latitude of Starbuck Island (not the coffee...), it's about 150 miles upwind.
Far too much for us to see anything of this uninhabited little piece of stone in the ocean.
The counter-current we had so far seems to weaken, the sea is much nicer.

On est a la latitude de l'ile Starbuck, elle est environ 150 milles au vent.
Beaucoup trop loin pour qu'on puisse voir quoi que ce soit de ce caillou perdu dans l'ocean.
Le contre-courant qu'on avait jusqu'alors semble faiblir, la mer est bien plus agreable.
