[status]What a rip-snorter of a run we had from Minerva yesterday up until 4am this morning! 202nm in 22 hours! But bugger, wouldn't you know it, as I came on to my shift at 4am the wind died, so we are bobbing around - I hesitate to start the motors which would be a horrible alarm clock for the crew! But maybe I should, as the sunrise is looking pretty 'spekky' at the moment! But hooray, we had a GREAT day's sailing yesterday.
[weather]3-5k variable . Swell 2.0m . 20% blue sky.
