Abigail - Abigail - Day1




Yesterday was a beautiful sailing day. After the start we had a light air spinnaker run out Chesapeake Bay and down the Virginia coast. At dusk the wind briefly died and then began to build slowly. After awhile we were sailing at 9 knots and decided it was time for a reef. A few hours later (around midnight) the wind build to 25 knots and we tucked in a second reef in the main. 

Now, at about 1000 on Tuesday, the wind is back down to 13 knots and we have shaken out the reefs and have made it across the gulf stream. We all are enjoying a beautiful sail, although I think Bernie and Pat, who just came off watch, will soon be enjoying some well deserved sleep. 


All in all Abigail is a happy yacht after the first day of its adventure to the BVI,
