Had some tough going yesterday, but got through just fine. Cooked a nice dinner of sautéed fresh baby carrots with an herb grilled chicken breast, got a good night’s sleep, and all is right with the little ship and its present course and speed. I have been remarkably busy so far. No time for reading or anything but sailing, making sail changes, navigating, resting, boat keeping, and eating. They say the first 4, 5, or 6 days are the hardest, and then when we settle into the trades and the temps start to rise it gets to be a lot of fun. That’s good, but I have no complaints about how this has been. It has not been easy, but I did not think it would be. We are sailing a serious ocean. And I like it.
Lee, I am impressed and excited for you. Happy sailing! Mike
