The wind left us for a while last night, dropping to less than 8kts. For different reasons we were mostly all awake in the middle of the night, so we took the sail down and motored for a while. We put her back out this morning when the wind seemed to return but soon dropped to 8-11kts from dead aft, where it stayed all day. We sailed 3-5kts ALL DAY today. It was a beautiful day, with music on the stereo, and surprisingly, NEXUS sails beautifully at 4kts in calm seas, just steadily plodding along. We're in a small group with Alpheratz, NDS Darwin, Ghost and NEXUS. Tim called over this morning to ask where we had gone, and we told him we slowly motored away last night, he put his motor on to re-group with the rest of us and put his sails back out to plod along. When he called Alpheratz to see what they were doing, Tom summed it up beautifully for all of us when he replied " We're having a lesson in patience". And so we are!
