It’s 0600 and after close reaching with storm sails all night in decent conditions wind and sea were getting too high for comfort as we were going fast and slamming into waves. We just hove to and now we’re doing 1.5 knots in much more comfort. Peak storm should pass over about 1200 local, so we’ll just sit and wait. Maybe read a book. 😉
Getting the storm sails up before dark.
It's cooommminnnggg...
One of the weather grubs showing the low and our projected position.
Will update again this evening.
Thank you for the quick update – I needed that!! Hope it’s a really good book!
Wow, the rodeo begins! Hang on tight, don’t fight the bull, and look for the helpful rodeo clown.
Or, using a different analogy – penetration air speed, keep the wings reasonably level, the compass reasonably on course, don’t worry about altitude, and watch the airspeed. Seatbelts fastened.
Gremlins? We don’t need no stinkin’ gremlins! I hear you can yell at ’em and scare them back into their little holes. Worth a try maybe.
Sail on, sail on sailors. Carefully.
enjoy a chrisma and we’ll have a couple waiting for you in PDX
