Like yesterday an early morning motoring in absence of wind then sailing close hauled.
According to the wind grib file we should be able to sail east until sunset, then we should be able to tack and
sail for the entrance to St. George's harbor where we are expect to arrive tomorrow morning.
Unfortunately no fish seems to like our lures :(


May 4 a superyacht passing to our stern going from the Caribbean to Gibraltar at 12 kts

May 4, bringing down the code-zero that we don't expect to use anymore given the expected
close hauled course.

A commercial for Doyle sails ?
