Abigail - Abigail - What a difference a day makes



Good morning everyone. 

Yesterday saw light winds for us for most of the day. In fact light is an overstatement. There was no wind, so we motored until mid afternoon, when a light easterly developed and we set the spinnaker. We dropped the chute around dusk as the wind built. As the evening/night wore on the wind continued to build. First one reef, then two. Finally we dropped the main and sailed under jib and jigger (mizzen). 

We are continuing under that sail plan even now as wind is around 20 knots. A few squalls around, but so far we've avoided them. We have just turned due south to avoid the highest winds. We all are enjoying the trip and each others company.
