ITCZ

Yesterday was a very good day, 160 miles in 24 hours.
We entered the ITCZ this morning around 8am, and dragged our feet since then... Slow day, rainy, gray, some squalls,... but the wind direction remains pretty steady, from the East.
This time, the front is weak. Hopefully, we'll get out of this mess during this night...

Hier etait une tres bonne journee, 160 milles en 24 heures.
On est entres dans l'ITCZ ce matin vers huit heures, et on s'est traine depuis... C'est lent, il pleut, il fait gris, quelques grains,... mais la direction du vent reste stable, d'Est.
Cette fois, le front n'est pas tres actif. On espere etre sorti de ce bazar cette nuit...
