Making Miles

This morning we (Tweed and Alishan) left Bolinao, PI. Just before we wanted to lift the anchor, the local coast guard man came to check our papers..all were fine and he left us with a big smile.
Our goal is to jump the Bashi channel and make landfall in Taiwan.
Everything is okay on board, beside it is HOT.
Already had some dolphins around us;-). And even a hitchhiking sparrow on board. Luckily, Nori and Wakame were deep asleep.
Wind is light from the SE to the SW, seas are friendly and the sky is wall-to-wall blue.
Postion right now:
16 degree 55.3N
120 degree 02.93E.
About 450 miles to go.

Salute
