Approaching
the half-way mark. Plenty of sailing this trip, some of it fast! Mostly motor
sailing, or slow sailing around 5-6kn last night and this morning in light winds
that more or less match the GRIB forecasts. Seas very calm but starting to
notice an underlying long ocean swell beneath the local wave pattern. A 15kn
puff alongside a lingering storm this afternoon had us charging under full sail
at 10kn for a few hours.
Still no fish.
Crew mostly had a slow day of sanding and polishing. Except HT, whose hand with
varnish brush seems always in a blur.
