It's Spring in the South Pacific! Yesterday it rained all day, enough that we filled our four solar showers and three large 3-5 gallon buckets from the bimini runoff. That's about 20 gallons, but not even a quarter of what could have been collected. Since we have a watermaker, we don't capture rainwater as a rule, but it's sure nice to have extra water for laundry and showers. BTW, since it's 87 degrees, we got our showers as well. The good news is that we've got a bit more breeze now. Not steady wind mind you, but improving. Last night for example, we began sailing a South wind with the genoa out on the pole (wing and wing) in 7 knots of wind. Then the wind backed (counter-clockwise) to the East, so off comes the pole, so I jibe the genoa. Then an hour later, the wind dies, so I furl the genoa and unfurl the screecher. Later, the wind increases to a passage record of 14 knots off the beam. Too much for the screecher, so in it comes and I deploy the genoa again. And so it went last night for all the watches! But the good news that we had some good runs and posted a 125-mile day for our latest log update. Overall, things are going great! We still have fresh veggies and fruit, so we're eating well! We use a galley rotation/preparation plan, so there's always good diversity at dinner time. Cheers from Huzzah!
