[status] Several of our emails went missing inexplicably yesterday....
We motor-sailed through the afternoon and evening. All good until the
2am change of watch when we tried to shake out the reef and ... nothing
happened. Bit of a hiccup with the main halyard which saw us heading NE,
head to wind, for a couple of hours while we sorted stuff out. Why do
these things only happen in the middle of the night?? On the positive
side, the sea was calm and there was almost no wind and we don't have
that far to go. Motored with the genoa, then screecher in light winds
today. Looking forward to landfall tomorrow.

To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
