From: Greenpeace's vessel MV Solo Date: THU 2-MAR-95 07:04:59 GMT Subject: 0700 GMT March 2, 95 -- Day Eight

POSITION IS NOW 440 MILES NORTH OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS

The Greenpeace ship Solo's position at 0700 GMT on 2 March, 1995 was 24 degrees and 25 minutes North and 26 degrees and 37 minutes West. Our current speed is 14 knots and we are heading southwest on a compass course of 211 degrees. We are currently some 440 miles North of the Cape Verde Islands today passing the Canary Islands yesterday. The wind is easterly, force 6.

Greenpeace is still unable to detect which route the Pacific Pintail will take as the ship has changed course a number of times since starting its voyage. We hope to be able to determine the route within the next 48 hours. France, Britain and Japan remain secretive about the ship's route despite opposition from some 25 countries and government bodies around the world.

That's all for now,

No Nukes.
