And still no wind to speak of...
All day, the wind has been less then 5 knots, mostly dead behind. From dead ahead would have been worse, but otherwise these continuing calms almost make you long for a 30 knot beat! In a gale, you are at least going anywhere! All day we had no more than rippled patches in an oily sea, with a lazy swell to occasionally slam the sails against the mast.
I've had enough of this! If there only was some wind, I could finish this race within two days. But in this, I've got no idea!
Testing conditions, mentally.
My last resort tonight was another culinary extravagancy...
