skipper JAM
August 10, 2014 We sailed all day under the spinnaker until 10:00 pm when the wind quit. We are now motoring. The winds are playing games with us. There is wind behind us and ahead, but as we motor east the wind ahead is getting lighter and lighter. We do not have enough fuel to reach Neah Bay where we can get more so we are going to have to tough it out. At least we can sleep tonight and look for more wind in the morning. We spent several hours trying to repair the staysail. We think it should hold in light air so we will try it tomorrow. We are running out of sail repair tape. The menu from Steve�'s galley is getting thin as we run out of some foods. We have plenty of calories left but Hershey bars get tiresome after a while. We are all looking at the distance to go to the Straits gauge on the instrument panel far too frequently. We now have 265 miles to go and where we were celebrating each 100 mile increment now it seems we watch each 10 mile increment. Land Ho fever is setting in. We are seeing hundreds of finned jelly fish on the surface of the water. Far less interesting than porpoises. Plenty of sea birds but little else.
