I shortened sail last night around 2200. It's a funny feeling how darkness brings some apprehension with it. Of course it's based in reality as it's always harder to perform tasks when you can't see well. But still managed about 6.5 knots overnight. There is now about a 1.5 meter trailing swell. I unfurled the gennaker as soon as the sun rose to get the speed back up over 7 knots again. 1212NM to go to Flores. The weather shows in a couple days the wind will be shifting almost 18o degrees so will likely be pounding into waves at that point. Time will tell...
Good Morning! Nice looking sunrise. Good report. Love the Feynman book. Wrote a note here yesterday but it disappeared. Unsure how this works yet. By the time you get off the boat I'll probably have it figured out.
ReplyDeleteWe too noticed the similarities between the BVI's and the Bahama's. Might be too close to our very populated East Coast. Have a good one.
Smooth Sailing.
Love Dad
