Jeanne Socrates - Engine troubles, Drogue deployed

[lenseman]

The indefatigable Jeanne Socrates has been having engine troubles in mid South Atlantic for the past two days. She was on route from Cape Horn to Cape Town but is now heading west towards Uruguay at under two knots.

She has had a low pressure pass over her in the past 48 hours and her report says it is now getting windy and rolly.

Her current location is:

38° 11.65'S 033° 27.68'W course 215°T, speed 1.1 knots.

Report received: 18 APR 2011 1400Z.

It really is a cracking read, highly recommended, she really is an inspiration to get out there and do it.
