Nearly halfway!

Kevin's current position is 3.57 south 146.07 west. He is averaging about 80 miles a day. Not as good as we had hoped for when he left but the weather is starting to improve. The wind has been steady the past few days blowing 10 to 15 on average. He is still getting the occasional squall but starting to get more and more fair skies! As he nears the equator I've been keeping tabs on the winds. So far it looks like there isn't going to be much of the doldrums to contend with (knock on wood.) which is a vast improvement from when he was heading south and spent 7 days trying not to travel backwards! W are hoping this second half of the trip will go a little faster than the first, even though he is still making decent time!
