Saturday and the beginning of day four. Day three the sea was calm with less than a metre of swell. It was a clear day with a lite 17kts wind.
Overnight the wind went up and down causing us to do a few sail changes. We are sailing into the middle of a high, meaning no wind. This morning the wind has dropped to 8kts. Imagine needs a minimum of 10kts of wind to move her 27 tons. So we are presently running with the headsail, staysail, mainsail, mizzen and motor.
