Today is a palindrome 02 02 2020. How very apropos that we are exactly halfway to Salvador from St. Helena, another type of palindrome in the sea. Oh no no ho (land yet).
It is seeming to be a long trip, no wind, no birds, no whales, no dolphins, no fish, did I say no wind? The number one or probably one and only blessing of no wind is the boat is upright and not rocking side to side. We have good sleep, no stress, no dramatic sail or gear situations...the Genoa has been on the pole giving us stability for days now. We still have lots of food, lots of water, we are well rested, it’s warm and we’re dry and comfortable. We only lack wind in an otherwise perfect passage thus far. It puts me in mind of the summer we spent cruising the Mediterranean Sea with the flat hot days of motoring on the Sweet Dream.
