Rivendell - Log: "There's No Wind! So Let's Swim"

7 December 2012
Well after yesterday's rain and last night's fog, and darkness we woke up to
a glorious although windless day. Andy and Ian tried their luck at fishing
- successfully - each landing a 25 to 28 inch Wahoo. They both decided to
throw them back in the pond - hoping for a bigger one.

"Moonbow" - okay internet surfers - over the last couple of nights Ben and
Bruce have witnessed a very large glowing arch on the opposite side of the
horizon from the moon. It's like a rainbow, but it has been taking place
between 11:30 and 2 am in the morning. I imagine that the moon's glow is
being refracted somehow, but neither of us are sure what we are seeing, but
I know that someone's parent will tell us the answer.

Swimming - as I said it was a glorious day - the boat wasn't moving so we
put out some lines with life preservers tied to them and everyone got on
their suits for a swim. We also swung the boom over to the starboard side
and jumped off into the water. A great time was had, but now later in the
evening we are learning about a couple of sunburns.

We are hoping for a pick-up in the winds tomorrow so that we can launch the
spinnaker and pick-up some speed for lost time. We all have our fingers
crossed for good luck!
Cheers!
