The winds lightened up last night, making for a slower passage with a better off-watch sleep. We made 135nm noon to noon. Currently we are about 60 miles north of Sumatra. This end of the long island is Aceh Province. Known for it conservative Islam and he devastation from the tsunami a few years back. We are also about 40 miles from Great Necobar Island, the southern most part of the Andaman Islands. Sometime this evening we will leave the Andaman Sea and move into the north Indian Ocean.
Yesterday I took a look on the deck and saw that our port side jack line had chafed all the way through. The jack line is used to clip on our saftey harness if need to go on deck and move forward. he forensic sailing committee is still not sure how this happened.
