Relax, We'll Get There

At Sea
N 33 46 W 077 43

It's slow going. We've had the spinnaker up all day, but there is so little wind that we often make only 2 knots of speed. On the other hand, it's sunny, it's warm, and the sea is calm, so it's very pleasant out here. We have until Sunday until the wind turns around, so we'll make it eventually.

Last night for about 5 hours the wind came up and we made very fast progress. The forecast calls for the same thing tonight. If so, then we ought to make it to Beaufort tomorrow (Saturday), if not perhaps the next day.

We had to motor for 4 hours to make sure that we crossed Frying Pan Shoals during daylight. If necessary, I'll use the motor again to make sure we don't arrive in Beaufort in the dark.

So, my watchword for today is sit back and relax. There's no hurry.
