Nexus - Nice sailing days



We've had variable winds but nice sailing these last two days. A few squalls have come by which sometimes force us to take our 15kt Gennaker down for a while, but most of them we've been able to ride out downwind without exceeding her limits. Still relatively slow going but better than before. We've had no luck fishing...even with lures that have caught reliably in other oceans so we're perplexed and have turned our attention to learning Cribbage! We have 560nm to go...and will probably arrive in the Thursday or Friday time frame depending on the winds. We're becoming a bit more spread out since NDS Darwin decided to motor last night while the three of us sailed gennakers slowly around squalls in different directions, but we can still talk by VHF so far, which is nice. We're sure looking forward to landfall!
