Talulah Ruby II - Day 5/6



The weather today was very hot and calm which was just as well as we got the main sail jammed (the nightmares of in mast furling) so after removing the battens some which are 16 mts long, we managed to get the sail down on deck, we repaired the rip which had been the cause of the trouble. We hoisted her back up and are now making our way down the Columbian coast to Panama. Besides the thousands of flying fish, we had a big school of Dolphins come to play with us including babies. Lot's of joyful jumping and cavorting around our bow. They always bring such joy with them. I'm sitting alone on deck writing this, no clouds around,a bright moon on it's way, and millions of stars. Magic moments perfect. Sounds ideal, but 4 hours later I am back on deck struggling with 38 knots too much sail and 3-4 mtr waves and getting very wet with waves over the bow over the stern.
Oh the joys of sailing!
