Spirit of Lusitania - Log Day 11 & 12



Log Day 11 & 12 - 30 November & 01 December

We have once again been hampered by very light winds - not even enough to keep a sail full. Our progress is haltingly slow, with short periods of sailing and long periods of motoring. Nonetheless, we are having a great time and are enjoying the sunshine, food and friendship. We have been practising celestial navigation, taking sextant shots of the sun most every day. We each do our own shots and sight reductions, then compare notes under the watchful eye of Patrick, our on-board RYA Yachtmaster instructor. It is quite remarkable how accurately one can navigate with a sextant and good watch! On top of it all, we caught another Mahi Mahi today, and Patrick turned that into a wonderful curry dish for dinner. We were all looking satisfied and more than a little sleepy after such a feast!

Spirit of Lusitania feels like home after just these few days onboard, and although our progress is slow, the comfort of this yacht makes up for it all. In fact, tonight is already feeling like a movie night…
