We're currently hard on the wind and making good speed and pointing strait
at Savannah. The 36-72 forecast is for the wind to shift to the West. In a
day or two we'll have 25kn of wind on the nose with a possiblity of
thunderstorms. That means it's going to be a slow and bumpy ride home.
It's nothing the boat or the crew can't handle. In fact it's great fun
driving one of these boats in those conditions. The downside is it's hard
to get rest when you're off watch as the movement down below can be quite
unpredictable.
It's been quite humid and pretty stuffy down below so we've tried to sail
with the hatches open as much as possible to get some air moving in the
cabin. Unfoutunatly we end up hitting a wave every so often which causes a
bit of water to come splashing into the cabin.
We spent the day securing things for the bumpy ride ahead. Gear is safely
stowed and we are trying to rest as much as we can because we may not get
too many opporties for that in the coming days. Forgive us if we get a
little behind in keeping you updated, but staying well rested has to be
our focus. Our gourmet dinner for the evening was Dinty Moore Beef Stew at
room temperature out of a can. As luck woud have it the conditions
moderated a bit shortly after we finished eating.
A few days back, someone sent us a text message asking why we haven't posted a picture of the crew so here's a shot of us in St. Thomas a few minutes
before leaving the dock.
