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.

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." |
