[status] We left Fernando first thing this morning. Discovered a tear in the main sail but have been able to fix it underway. Should make it to Barbados! It?s between the first and second reef so if the repair doesn?t hold we can still run with two reefs in the main.

DAY 15
We struggled yesterday to keep wind in the sails. Before, it seems we have crossed the convergence zone in a couple of days. This time we figure it's been about 600 miles wide. Imagine trying to get through 600 miles of summer storms on a bicycle. But we persevere and think TODAY is the day we will come out the other side and find the trade winds. We've had steady wind 9-13 kts all night and will probably put a reef in the mainsail after coffee.

[status] We are still here, diving and enjoying this area. We?ll be leaving in the morning for our next stop about 35NM to the NW. Light winds so probably a motor sail, but should be comfortable. More updates later.
[weather] 5-10kts NNE, flat anchorage, clear skies, 26C
