Day 6 Give us this day our daily jibe.
We are unable to sail our rhum line as it is too deep down wind and we have to keep 20-30 degrees off in order to keep wind in the sails as we get pushed around by waves. So we are zig zagging across our course line and jibing each day. This adds miles to our passage. I calculated that for every 100 miles we sail, we make 94 miles towards our destination. We can live with that, especially when we are churning out 155 miles each day.

Day 5 (again)
Yesterday I mistakenly (and optimistically) posted that is was Day 5 when, in fact, it was Day 4. The mathematically inclined should have picked it up when I said that we were doing 150 mile days and had 600 miles behind us.
I'm hoping Bruce catches a fish so we can do Taco Tuesday in style. So far we've let one small bonito go and lost one that hit when we were putting a reef in the main.

[status] We are enjoying cruising first in Queen Charlotte Sound and now in Polorus Sound. It was good to meet up, in person, with Serge on Spirare after being radio friends for the past month. We are now in Homestead Bay. The weather this morning on our move from Forsyth Bay was cool but it is now clear and settled. All's well on board.
