Yes!Finally I have wind and it is even blowing from the right direction. With decreased swell but increased wind and in the company of a brightly shining sun, everything is suddenly a lot more fun. Indeed after two nights with only a little sleep, the sails flapping and a deeply clouded sky with drizzling rain, my good mood had pretty much faded away… But a good nightsleep works wonder. Now I have good crosswinds that make Guppy fly over the waves at 7 knots [13 kilometres or 8 land miles an hour]. Last night I only had to get out of my bed once so I had a good sleep. As I got up this morning, I had a totally different view of the world and new horizons on things… Again Guppy is going great under sails and I really hope it stays this way for a good while..
