Light winds are hard to deal with in any kind of a rolling sea. The sails 'slat' back and forth, banging on the batten hardware on the sails, chafing the sail material, and making alot of racket. We had to replace a batten pocket yesterday because the threaded stud holding it to the mast had stripped the 'high-grade plastic' of the batten pocket. We had a replacement, and it took an hour to replace (just before dark, and dinner). We have kept our boat clocks on Pacific Daylight Time, but will be switching to the local time in the Marquesas which is -9.5Z or 2 hours and 30 minutes back of Pacific Daylight Time. The moon has been a wonderful street light at night for us, making it easier to see the horizon for ship contacts, and for general boat awareness. Without local neighbors, Sue has been hanging hand laundry out to dry on the life lines. Three weeks of travel uses up available clean clothing, and she has taken the job to heart, chasing after squalls for soft rainwater to use in laundering.
