Light winds

Another light wind day, but strong sun!
We are all sticking to our big shady cockpit or inside work today... and wearing sunblock!

The wind was down to about a 5 knot average this morning and we actually ran engines and sail for a few hours 0530 to a little after 1000.

Now it's like 7-8 on the mast and 5-6 on deck. We've got all the biggest sails trimmed for max boat speed, and we are letting autohelm keep us at about 52° off the wind.

We are heading north-northwest, which is a little disconcerting to be giving up our "east" that we had "banked" already, but...

Que serà, Serà. and...
This is cruising. (apparently! LOL)

It's a quiet afternoon. I think we are all pretty well caught up with any sleep deficits, and so we putz with little projects (fix this, reattach that, wash some stinky t-shirts) read our novels, do some sudoku puzzles, look for text messages, and emails (hint, hint!)

Love & Light,
~e.
