Second Verse 06210800 35 29N 123 34W DTF: 1942 COG: 220T SOG: 5.6
Yesterday was there was a lot of wind and big seas. In fact, for two hours there it was 34 kts sustaining with gusts to 38! The seas were above my second spreader! I have to admit for those two hours I wished I were somewhere else. Better now.
One of the blades of the wind generator ripped off! Gone! Well, there goes that power source, I will bring a spare set next time.
I have all this great food but I really have not eaten yet, just one apple and some jerky. I�'ll try to force some food down today.
A tanker crossed my path last night when I was asleep. I called him up on VHF and asked if he ever saw me, nope! Oh well, no reason to worry about that now.
Once these seas calm down I�'ll begin to tidy up, it is a mess in here! BTW, sleeping on the floor is not that bad, I got a full hour at one point last night, real good sleep, and I dreamed I was taking a hike with the kids.
Second Verse, signing off and searching for the sun and calm seas.
