JESSICA PASSES 12,500 MILE MARK
03-Feb-2010
Jessica has continued to make good progress this week averaging over 120 nautical miles per day and earlier today passed the 12,500 nautical mile (nm) mark of her around the world voyage.
She has now begun heading east across the Atlantic Ocean, towards the Cape of Good Hope.
Jessica had remained on a more northerly course until today, to avoid a threatening system passing to the south.
Despite avoiding the worst of this large southern low, it is expected Jessica will still get some strong winds and heavy swell at some stage over the next 72 hours.
