Current Position at 6:10 AM is as follows:
Lat 28’39.960
Lon 154’02.084
Conditions:
We took the sails down yesterday afternoon and motored overnight. Boat speed is a little over 5 knots. There is a light wind from the west (250) at 8 to 10 knots, but it is variable, and while we could sail to it, we would not go very fast or far. The sun is out, and the sea state is calm.
Notes:
We are heading north. It is nice to have the boat be flat while we motor. I hardly even noticed the sound of the engine anymore. It is running smoothly at 2000 RPMs. I cooked a pretty tasty meal in the pressure cooker last night; steak with onions and carrots, and rice. Crew said it was good, but they would say that about anything hot. I expect the winds to fill in from the west today, but be variable, and swing around to the northeast. Could be some squalls and rain. Might try to sail, but could just continue to run the engine through it. Will have to refill the fuel tank soon, it is just below half (22 gallon capacity).
