The wind is very light and is forecast to be the same for the next few days.
We motored out of the marina and kept motoring for 2 hours.
Rean turned off the motor when the wind picked up enough to keep us sailing above 6 Kts. This is the speed we were doing while using one engine at 2,500 rpm. So not worth the effort and diesel to keep motoring, but not very fast sailing. The swell is coming in from the starboard side and it is a little uncomfortable now, but no complaints as we are safe and the boat is not stressed at all.
