Adagio - #8: 12/02-12/03 2018 (Saturday/Sunday)



#:8 12/02-12/03 (Saturday/Sunday)

So, the first week goes past in a flash, really. It ~seems~ that we are not even moving when we take a look at the big maps, and in the grand scheme we have made precious little progress. Still, miles are miles and we've passed the 1,000nm travelled mark. Unfortunately, it looks like the gambit to head south first is only serving to add miles to the trip and is not going to be any surprise benefit at the end. Ah well, don't hire me to be your tactician if time really matters. It looks like we'll be following the fleet for a while so save a spot and don't drink all the punch!!

Oh, and is it ~always~ at 0230 that the non-AIS boat shows up out of nowhere and plays 'S' turns in front of you for a while? I know that we are kind of scrambling to find a good point of sail in the light-wind-rolling-side-to-side-while-the-sails-flog but gee ..

Actually, I jest a little. It was only because it's a dark night that 1/2nm look scary, right? :)

Had a pleasant event when we were able to make the Satellite phone call back to the U.S. to wish our daughter a happy birthday!
