The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.

[status] Don?t you just hate rain squalls! The stronger wind they bring means you?ve got to have less sail up, then in the lull they leave behind them you wallow with floppy sails.
Last night we resigned ourselves to just using the motor in the lulls until the wind returned. Many cycles of sail, motor-sail, plus adjusting the sails often. One hardly has time to read ones book ?

[status] Wind picked up a little yesterday and were able to sail in the afternoon. Motored for a while overnight but wind came up in squalls and have been sailing since early morning. Squalls giving us wind, but no rain yet. We can see rain on the horizon but we?ve only gotten the wind part (up to 22 knots) of the squalls.
[weather] Wind 10.7 SSW. Baro 1019. Cloud and squalls on horizon. Patchy clouds overhead. Swell 1-2 meters.
