Simon & I have hoisted every combination of
sails that we have aboard today, at least twice. The wind gets up to about 9kts,
and I get all excited, and decide we must sail, so up goes the main, and out
with the jib. She sails really well, once there is wind, so off with
the engine, father & son are happy, we are making about half the wind
speed, then in about ten minutes the wind drops again to 2 kts, son
looks at father and says " we really can`t sail at 1 kt!" so in it all
comes again, until the next time father pursuades son, (or does it all
alone!)
So we are motoring again now, as the sun went down,
so did the wind. Hopefully we will be in late tomorrow. I spoke to Bill on VH
this afternoon, and he has offfered to come out in the dinghy to guide us in if
we arrive after dark. THe moon is full, so it should be ok to go in. We shall
see!
