Sun is shining and we're sailing goosewinged in 16
knots of wind. But the wind speed has been fickle lately, and we're doing our
best to keep the boat speed up and navigate away from the dreaded wind hole.
Today Bounty and Gum Flapping Cedric share how they feel when the instruments
showing the wind displays a single digit.
Bounty: "I feel put down to the rules nature has
given us."
Cedric: "Completely frustrated, because we're not
going forward, and because of the wear and tear it does to the gear as the sails
flap back and forth."
What was the worst wind hole you ever got stuck
in?
Bounty: "I never really had one, because I always
had enough wind coins with me."
Cedric: "In front of the Fastnet 2011 finish line,
really close to it, and suddenly the fleet catching up on the
horizon."
Highlight of the day: Everytime the wind came
back!! Woohoo!!!
