Widago - Almost to Las Palmas



WIDAGO and crew are continuing to creep towards Grand Canaria. The last two days we have been dodging intermittent rain storms (yeah! Fresh water wash down) and inconsistent winds (boooo! Sails in/out, up/down). After getting the parasailor launched we were really looking forward to some of the downwind trade wind sailing we've heard so much about, the 21kt of wind died back down to 10-12, just weak enough to collapse the chute. I tried pitching it to Ahab that it was a good training exercise, to which he replied, "I don't need any exercise."
Under 80nm to our destination now. Motoring with the Genoa out tonight, under a full moon, and scattered clouds. Looking forward to a cold beer and someone else doing the dishes...
