Well another pretty frustrating night and day really.
The wind last night was just making it hard for me to go the way I wanted, I did try 1
tack closer to shore only to hit buy a thunderstorm.
So feeling pretty frustrated and tired, I decided to focus on getting some sleep.
So I put a tack in, heading straight out to sea slowly, and got some sleep. I still did 20
min naps and watched for ships ect, but got good ones. Then at 3am or so there was
no wind, so I set off motoring the way I wanted.
The wind came up for a while during the day, only to fade away again this afternoon.
So Im motoring again, there is enough wind to sail, but the waves cause us to roll and
make the sails and boom bang around.
But on the good side I have found the current they all talk about.
So slow progress but alls well with Zoa and Myself.
