The wind dropped last night after we had sailed a little. We had to start the engine again, but the 10 hp Yanmar can’t get into the choppy waves unless the sails are helping. So we had the volvo running for a little while last night. This morning we sail again but the wind dropped later and we are back to motor sailing. We have to fight for every mile! But yes we knew this before and it’s all good. The sun came out today and there was not as many squalls and dark clouds hanging around, so that was a nice change. On the moment it’s back to drizzle and cloudy sky’s. Also the wind is dropping again, hmm speaking of dropping, the wind is litery just disappeared and we’re back to bobbing, So we will have to start the engine… But therefore we have enjoyed a nice little breeze for most of the day, and been making some really good progress. We’re now at 31.45S 170.38E.
