Nexus - Very Light Wind Sailing But All Is Well



Very light and variable winds of 10-12kts from behind greeted us this morning, so we're putzing along at 4-6kts this morning...Russ is twitching and reaching for the ignition keys every now and then but trying to ride this out as long as we're making decent progress. Another beautiful day, and we have two lines in the water but no joy so far. We expect the wind to die down more by tomorrow so we're anticipating some motoring but we may deploy "Fat Albert", our largest Gennaker, later this morning to extend our sailing time a little longer, but the wind may be too inconsistent to keep it filled. Decisions..decisions..that's sailing, but all is well.
