Easy Rider - The Cabin Boy's Log..... Day 2



Day 2 was a slight anti climax as well a needed break after an action packed start. Winds were lighter than expected bringing our lofty hopes of a 4 day passage to a more grounded 5 - 6. That said, spirits onboard were high, fueled by fabulous food (thank you Soy) and more cups of tea than you can shake a stick at.

With the weather forecast looking lighter than our initial predictions, we spent the afternoon pondering over GRIB files and watching our fellow sailors on AIS, trying to read their manouvers. Competition was in the air as some boats turned thier AIS to receive only, masking themselves from prying eyes.

As the swell calmed and the sun set, we settled into a quiet night of somber sleep and moon lit watches.
