Temerity Tuesday AM

Slept a lot, nearly 8 hrs, in part thanks to finding the ‘good’ earplugs which had been mislaid. Sea state in morning much improved but still kind of hairy. I considered shaking the 2nd reef, but then some more clouds, light showers, and more wind rolled in. Winds 18 – 25 kts gust to 30. So I held tight and charged the battery, again. Fuel use much higher than planned due to AP load and amount of use, and lack of sun over last several days. So today I will try to play with course for best CMG and maybe try to find a more balanced sailplan. Haven’t checked overnight standings, they must be coming out later this morning.
