We motored in flat seas and nearly 0 wind for the first 36 hours then we had some wind but from the wrong direction. The jib went up at 9 pm last night and the mainsail at 6 am this morning.
Instead of the beautiful blue sky melting into the deeper blue water today is all the shades of gray you can imagine. The sea is a deep color of gray with streaks of white from the breaking waves. It appears lifeless.
The sky is a mottled institutional gray. Threatening squalls disappear before we reach their location. When not on watch we are all sleeping. It's that kind of weather. The crew is subdued but happy, we are sailing!
Well, at least you are moving toward your target!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, after a little search I found that the Greek salad dressing you have on board is available in supermarkets just across the border in Plattsburgh, NY, about an hour south of here. Must go buy some!
