We are slowly progressing.
The wind though corresponds to the forecast -
more or less -- is too weak to sail the boat. On top, the direction
is from the port quarter -- which seems to be good at first glance... But it is
130-140 degrees, and only one sail may be used at a time... Attempt to
manuever, and keep it 120 degrees -- does not work either as the wind not stable
and very weak...
The bottom line -- yes, the motor is working... and I'm a bit tired of it... It is hot. Hot outside, hot inside...
Yes, it is a very none-iventfull passage so far...
Which I'm really appeciate... But I would like to get some more wind...
The computer is joking that the proximity to
Saldinia -- South West coast -- about 140 nm away... But it the Med it
seems may be day, or days, or weeks to make... ;-)
On that note:
wind: ~340T, about 6-8
knts
COG: 087T
SOG: 4.6-5.0 knts
sails: main ( f ) + genoa ( on
poll );
Talk to you soon,
M.
