Nexus - Sailing again on a beautiful day!



After motoring for the night, the wind came back with a squall early in the morning. Initially it was right on the beam so we had the white sails out and were sailing well, then it died down a bit and moved aft, so we decided to roll out Fat Albert...our 100% gennaker and we're sailing well and quietly without the banging of the boom...delightful! We're making decent progress at 6-8kts in 13kts wind and it's a beautiful day! We're sailing in company with NDS Darwin, with Celebrate 30nm south and Alpheratz and Ghost 38nm aft, so we have good radio communications with our faster friends which is nice. We're still working on the fishing...no joy yet. I think I'll throw a line around the tackle box and toss it in this time.
