02.10.2010 What did you do today? Me? I did 21 miles. And i did NOT make it look easy. Started out with gobs of wind, and an appropriately reduced sail area. Learned that i should save sailing off the anchor for calm days only, whew! Later the wind died, went to full sail. Wind came back, reduced sail again. And somehow couldn’t point for shit today – that’s sailing lingo for…well, trust me, it was frustrating. The wind was really shifty, and i must have gotten out of synch with it, but i suspect the rig needs tuning too. We came to sail, and today we sailed. And sailed. And sailed. 21 miles. Felt like 50. In 8 hours. Oh well, we’re here. First time we’ve tied up to a dock since…January 1 in La Paz. Pickin’ up e-mail, etc… And we are now north of 27 degrees north latitude, so officially in the northern Sea of Cortez.
"Wish you were here."
