The 11th started off strong with good winds from the north and nice progress until shortly after noon when the winds petered it. Ended up motor sailing (a lot more motoring than sailing. In the middle of the night e managed to break our traveler car (Lewmar) when a rogue wave unloaded and loaded it. I secured it at 2245 and Jerry rigged a solution at 0630 on the 12th. Late in the am, the winds built to 22-25 from the west and we flew our spinnaker for the first time this season. We saw up to 15 with a small squall with gusts to 29. Chafed through our tack and secured her for the day. Hopefully no more excitement.
Have been tagging along w Queso Grande II which has been nice. Tried out our SSB and tracking w Iridiun at Ocens.com. Starlink is working well and Chris Parker has been very helpful.
So far 210nm down, 460 to go. Wish us luck.
