Log Day 62: A Board Meeting Aboard



At last, a sunny day and deep blue waters for as far as the eye could see.



We did, however, have to review our overall strategy for this passage as we approach the halfway mark. We may as well have been in a Boardroom as the various tactics, that would either support our strategy or throw it overboard, were discussed, debated and eventually agreed upon, only to have to change it all an hour later when the weather decided not to cooperate.



In essence, the cushion that we had in remaining above our rhumb line evaporated when the wind insisted on staying E (East) for most of the day and, in order to keep our speed up, we had to head in a more southerly direction.Tonight the wind veered to be more ESE (East South East) so, although we've slowed down a little, we're managing to keep our direction on the rhumb line at least. Lets hope we get a true SE (South Easterly) soon to give us back the wiggle room we need for the second half of this passage.
