July 6th, Day two:
This has been a very slow day. We’ve got the swells, but where’s the wind? Since last night we’ve been sailing in company, and we are still in sight of some of them. The photo shows John with “Brainwaves” in the background.
We’ve tried just about all possible combinations of sails and settings, but when there’s very little wind and sloppy seas there’s just not a lot you can do but trim for minimum breakage!
Tonight we finally heated up John’s Ginger Chicken with rice. Four of us ate it and declared it delicious. The other two decided to skip dinner. They will be feeling better soon.
Regards, Paul
