39:17.160N 002:19.054E UTC 2024 We are finally moving... The motor is off... We got the wind, which I claimed had been stolen... No, it was not... With only main sail, with 1 reef in it... we are going around 6 knts... The swell make the boat move from side to side a bit... Looks like a bit rolling inside the boat... But my dear friend autopilot -- is really busy... Probably, the autopilot is an old romantic chap... He constantly stering the boat in the middle the Moon light road ahead of us.... Did not notice it at first... But course numbers are jumping, as the middle of Moon light road -- ho.. The sky full of stars... In ideal -- it would be nice to make autopilot pump life easier... But I do not know what ahead of us in terms of weather.. So far -- pretty fair following winds, swell, on back quarter of the boat... ( rolling, but comfortable ). But who knows, who ordered this weather, and what to be around the corner ? So, everything good, Talk soon M. COG: 223T SOG 6knts wind: NNE, 20 knts T |
