Currently on the hook at Lynyard for supper after a glorious, if slow, due
to almost no wind, sail down from Marsh Harbour. Newly tuned rig improved
our sailing dramatically, as we're now up to 30* apparent with great speed.
See tinyurl.com/flyingpigspot for this and the rest of the voyage to
Eleuthera.
If the wind doesn't pick up soon, it will be a very rolly ride! OTOH, it's
supposed to be 13-18 over the course of our overnight, and the 6' seas have
14 seconds, so if we have enough to fill the sails, it should be
comfortable, if slow.
L8R, y'all
Skip, about to lose internet connectivity as we move offshore

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
