Celebrate - "Playing the Angles"



PLAYING THE ANGLES by Jay Ailworth
For days the wind has been quiet - too quiet,
We have a kite but could not fly it.
The wind has been fickle and all wrong,
Our main and jib being limp like a wet sarong.
The diesel drone has been annoying,
Cats paws of wind constantly toying.
Time, distance, and fuel remaining are a major consideration,
Having no wind or fuel with miles to go would be a grave miscalculation.
But then this morning the sea bestowed us a gift,
The wind is up offering us a lift.
Now the engine is cold and quiet,
With the spinnaker up with wind to fly it.
Hopefully this is the end to our woe and remorse,
At last we are sailing on our lay line course.

Until next time...

Charlie, Cathy & Jay
