[w]TWS 17 TWD 260T Baro 1014. Long period swell building (1.5m ?)
[s]Very light winds throughout the day. Too light to even keep the 0.5 oz spin flying. Motored - maintenance and home schooling day. Winds picked up at sunset for a gentle close reach at first and now a comfortable beam reach. Trying to make the best of this wind as it looks like it will get light again before Minerva. Mexican dinner: Kauwai ceviche and buritos on tostadas (no tequila though)
