[status] We were headed last night about 0300 when the wind went light and backed to the north. So, rather than sail off to the west, we tacked and are now sailing off in an easterly direction - sometimes north of east by a few degrees, sometimes south of east by a few degrees, all depending on the wind strength and the ability of our wind vane to steer the boat (it really doesn't work well in anything less than 9 knots of apparent wind). So, we are basically just waiting for the latest update from our weather router to tell us where we should be heading; it will almost certainly involve some motoring, but in which direction we are not sure, given what we can see in the weather forecasts for what lies ahead. Until then, "All is well on board!" Thanks for following us on YIT!
