All's Well Up to Now

We have had some tense times but all is well on board. The forecast has light winds tomorrow after winds on our nose all day today and yesterday. We made 10nm to good yesterday. Not good for our average. The wind after tomorrow should clock around and be favorable and give us the boost we need to save fuel and make some time up. Cindy and I both put on new Scopalamine patches to stop the queasies. Cindy was out last night and I tacked in the dark three times by myself to try and figure out the best tack. Both tacks were evil but one less than the other so we are going west at almost a right angle to the direction we want to go but that will give us some sea room for the west winds expected in two days.

Everybody on other boats talk about the weather. There are several nets and each one has a weather discussion and then we have informal nets with friends and do the same thing.

Looks like it will be OK if a new storm does not come in or come in too early. Looking to come in on the 15th but would prefer the 14th. After yesterday that looks doubtful but still theoretically possible. We'll keep you posted.
