Sunday morning. The first night on our route
back -- is over.
Sun, blue skies, patchy clouds...
If i manage to ignore the calendar paper, would I be able to
determine that it is a fall, not summer? Probably, not...
Then, why am I going back, for 'winter place ' ?! ;-)
Probably, the most beautiful part of the
morning - the weather models agree between each other and the reality
arond. A rare case, I guess.
I've turned a bit more to the North, to have a
broad reach speed, and keep some speed.
Within a couple of hours, the wind should veer even
more, going from E to ESE, and then S. And reacting for that, at
some point, we would gype, and keep going more West, rather then gaining more
northerly distance.
At least, that the plan, and the theory...
The seas are very gentle, the wind is about
10 knots, andwe are doing about 4.7-5+ knots,
Based on the computer, we have 120 nm to go,
before clearing the Sardinia Island, to our starboard.
Strange feeling -- to see Way Points on the
map, whih I put in July, as travelling around South Sardinia on the
way to Napoli...
Everything is good.
Talk soon,
M.
