Edelweiss - Day #10: Same ol', same ol'



Well, we thought we would check in to report that there isn't much to report! We continue to make progress despite light trade winds, heading now on a course directly to St Lucia which is a HUGE morale booster. The weather is hot & sunny with big billowy clouds above, perfect for drying the damp shoes we brought with us (and just discovered - ugh) from Las Palmas. The waves are gentle which at least a few of the crew appreciate. Rumor is that we will soon put up the gennaker, Midsommar, and we'll then also be the prettiest sailboat around. (The fact that there isn't another boat to be seen on our 30-ish mile horizon is irrelevant!)

Lyell worked hard yesterday, producing a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies which is such a treat. We also have a new host of jokes making the rounds here, thanks to the opening of a on-crossing present, the newest Wimpy Kid book. Not my kind of humor, but then I am not the target audience, unlike many of the remaining crew :-)

Hope this finds you happy and enjoying some sunshine of your own...
