We had wind at last. It started last night. And from the right direction!
It built this morning to 35 kn, gusting 39. A little bit too much to be
comfortable, and no boiled eggs for breakfast, but we do not complain. We are
making progress, and we do not burn diesel. It rained all night, but now the sun
is shining through the clouds. We have had contact with other boats on ssb, and
the dayly routine is about to return to us. As you understand, our mind is as
focused on the weather as it was on all the practicalities before we started.
All of yesterday we had the lure out without catching fish We talked to Catara
on vhf yesterday, and they had more luck! Ok the fish will come to us too. We
are a bunch of optimists. |
