Well it couldn't last I suppose, but the wind shut down this morning and I have been motoring all day. A little breeze has just popped up so I raised the sails, but its not looking too promising. The forecast is also for light winds so Diesel might become a problem, I may have to stop at Galle but would prefer to Keep going. Apart from that all is going well, the boat is in pretty good shape, and I made some water today, saw a couple for fishing boats in the distance, there were a couple of thunderstorms this morning, mainly rain. Neptunes Highway has slipped away from me possibly 100 miles now, these little waves don't tend to knock them around as much We have a chat on the HF morning and night. Gee I hope this little breeze sticks around, we will see. That's about it for today managed to keep amused even with the motor going in the background.
