Aviva - great wind today



Today we expected winds N to NNE at 13 or so, but we got winds 18-20. The direction stayed favorable all day, and we made great time. Currently the wind is 10 knots SE, the least favorable direction for us since we want to go any heading between S and E. We need to charge the batteries anyway so are motorsailing, which is allowing us to make due south, 180. So it goes. We had ham, roasted sweet potato, fresh pineapple, and biscuits for dinner, and are into our overnight watch rotation. Tonight it's Mark 7-10, Dorothy 10-1, Fred 1-4, Mark 4-7. Our daytime watches are 7-11 am, 11 am -3 pm, and 3-7 pm. With 7 watches per day, the schedule rotates. It seems to be working out well.

Time for my nap ...
Dorothy
