Wednesday morning, start of day #5.
Lots of good hard sleep last night. A pretty boring, uneventful night. Just after dinner the spinnaker folded, the wind sort of returned enough to fly again. On the second fold just before dark there was no reviving the flying. Just a huge wet kleenex hanging from the mast. One of the easiest ways to take down a spinnaker is to have no wind in the sail.
Put Bertha back in its sleeping bag and turned on the engines and thats how the night went. One engine making some electricity and pushing us slowly toward the destination. Seems the forecasted wind ‘hole’ had shown up early and not expected to fill back in until Friday the 22nd.
We will try to find some way to sail but without wind it’ll probably be pretty fruitless. Looking at the jib right now its starting to show signs needing to be put away too, had some wind in it over night but just enough to keep it from flapping.
All is well, might be a double feature movie day. Any suggestions – might have to break out ‘Captain Ron’ and see how many new phrases we can pick up. “If its gonna happen its gonna happen out there” or “We’ll just pull in and ask for directions”
