[weather] Light breeze 9 - 12 knts SSW, Very cloudy although we had some sunshine today. Seas are long rolling troughs sometimes impressive and covered with chop not so impressive as it makes things uncomfortable with the 'boom switch'.
[status] All well on Impi. We need more wind please! Fishing lines are out but nothing yet :(
The boom tends to bang from side to side as the swells slip underside - I call it the 'boom tantrum'. So we are trimming, tweaking and adjusting constantly to keep things moving along - but as our dear friends on SV Macushla always say 'EASY DOES IT'!
Oh I really had to share this with y'all ... I wrote to my mates to explain the lumpy seas we encountered and suggested they should take pleasure not being out here ... that they should enjoy the comforts of their home on land for a while as we battle it out at sea.
Typical of the terrific folks they are - this was their reply:

M is joining you in solidarity by replicating your conditions here, throwing off his slippers, having one less log on the fire and rocking vigorously in his chair, the soaking seawater has had to be replaced by a tastier cool libation, but he feels your pain!

This sense of humour made our day !!!
