Hi all, Pipedream finally left Jacksonville
bound for Mayport breakwater many left over wave from there recent grails.
Probably should have waited a few more days in port for the winds to settle down
but the crew was getting restless. Chris reminded me that it would be
hurricane season if we waited much longer. We tacked north ali night to
keep moving and this am were about even with Hilton
Head. We tacked south this morning and have just entered the Gulf
Stream. Herb our weather router has advised us to stay south of 30N as a
low is expedted tomorrow.
A are still a little woozy from the motion but we
are improving with time. George and I practiced taking sun sights at
noon. Chris is now at the helm and Phil who has been effect least by the
motion made a big spagedtti dinner. The refrigerator has stopped working
again so we are eating up the fresh food as fast as possible. We had
guessed we would make Bermuda in 6 or 7 days... that is looking unrealistic with
these winds' Are we having fun yet? I think
so. |
