Still Half Way

The wind tanked completely this morning. After slatting around with the wind shifting randomly, pushed by all the storm cells going by, we were inundated by another whopper of a rain squall just after sunrise. To give you some idea, it rained so hard that the falling water flattened the waves and we collected about 4 gallons of water in 20 minutes. It seemed to take the wind with it and we have been nearly drifting all day. We have been scratching to try and keep the boat moving forward, but at least it is a pretty easy motion.
Grand total of miles covered today: 20 Miles left to go: 1260 Days at this rate: Not good!
