Free Spirit - Thursday, 12 Nov 2015 Settling in

The wind shifted north and died during the night, so we ended up motor sailing through the night. We're settling in to our 2 hour watch system, grabbing shut eye at every opportunity while we work on acquiring our sea legs. We have been fighting a cold water eddy all day according to our temperature readings, with 2 kts of current against us to slow our progress. Steve got out his sextant and is sharpening his celestial navigation skills… a lost art these days. He took the readings, did the calculations, and came within 8 miles of our electronic fix. The challenge is on to see how much he can narrow the gap… the rock star challenge!
