Forth day out

We keep on motoring…. motoring….

Well most of the time anyways. Jean and I hoisted the kite this morning at a little after 9am and have had it flying on a beam reach ever since.

Sails up!

The winds have been light but good enough to keep sailing with true wind speeds from 7-9 kts for the most part this morning. With that amount of wind on the beam we can make between 4 and 5 kts over ground which is all we can hope for it we were motor sailing anyways.

Last night it was pitch black when the sun went down because the fog was so thick. It was a little bit of an adjustment because we’ve had a full moon for the last three nights.

The guys weren’t wanting dinner last night so George and Jean just had some toast and peanut butter while I ended up making two boxes of Kraft Dinner (so I’d have left overs for breakfast of course!)

The wind has been out of the NE all day so I’m tentatively hoping that it will just hang out and get a little stronger over the next couple days.

Time will tell I guess.
