Day 6 117 miles in the last 24 hours We rode the wind all day yesterday with high expectations of another 130+ mile dayÉ.once the sun set the winds died and left us with sea slop! A mixture of wave sets from two different directions and no wind to stabilize the boat! The night run let us down with Dena eeking out 3-4 knots of boat speed on her 18:00 to 00:00 shift and the wind vanishing on my shift. We motored at around 3-4 knots until sunrise. It was spectacular. I've see many sunrises both on land and a few at sea. I love to feel the coldest part of our 24 hour cycle which to me is 1 hour before sunrise. I love to feel the cold and will even make myself uncomfortable to do so as the joy of feeling the first rays of sunshine on my chilled skin is my birth into the new dayÉ.I will always seek this out. Once the day staked it's claim the wind rose slightly on our beam (as Dena had forecasted but it was still too light for our white sailsÉbring out the light air sails! We hoisted Dave Benjamin's (Island Planet Sails) cruising Light air Sail and voila 3.5 knots of boat speed! The perfect compliment to this head sail is the Amel Mizzen Ballooner which we hoisted around mid day. Both sails ride beautifully together stabilizing the boat and giving us 5 knots in about 7 knots of wind on our port beam. Some are asking why about 7 knots when we have wind instruments that give us precise measurement? Well our Anemometer stopped working just after we left San Diego and I will not go up the mast to try and fix it until we reach Galapagos. The pace is nice, the weather warm and we are slowly settling into our passage sleep routine of 6 hours at night each and 3 hours each at some point during the day. Still no fish, although we hooked a nice Tuna yesterday, got it to the boat where we prematurely admired our first fresh meal from the Pacific andÉ.pingÉit was gone! Lures back out with higher hopes. (more luck needed Dante) Boat is performing well, we have now deployed every combination of sail on the boat with the exception of the storm jib. Enjoy Super Bowl SundayÉwe will tooÉ.
