Default News from the Pacific

Mike left Mexico a week ago today and from the email I recieved this
morning, Arabella is about 1100 miles out from Puerto Vallarta,
sailing along in the trades under spinnaker and main (wind too far aft
to use mizzen without blanketing the main), doing 7 knots plus towards
the Marquesas. Whoohoo...

Seven knots with a following wind in the trades and a loop current in
his favor??? That's some slow boat. Didn't he put fresh bottom paint on
the pig? BTW a ketch is hard to beat on a reach but downwind you might
as well not bother at all with the mizzen. And what's with the main up?
If the mizzen sail blankets the main then the main blankets the
spinnaker. Good lord tell them to strike the main. The spinnaker is all
they need.

Will do. I love the fact that we can be in contact with each other
while he's out there.
