Racing & Pink Umbrellas





Thursday July 2

morning call:

No wind – barely enough to keep going if stay on the tiller. Can draft north or south at half a knot.








                                                                                                                                           Hot & sunny. "Don't want to put up canvas, in case I need to put up sails. So I'm using a fuchsia travel umbrella while sipping tea." (Snookums indeed! I cracked up for at least a full minute- Katja)

"Clouds on the horizon with rain. May be coming here soon – might mean wind. Right now I'm in a neck and neck race with a piece of styrofoam, but I'm slooooooooowly pulling ahead." (repeated mirth)

Photos: the canvas he is not putting up, the barometer, the wind-vane & anemometer.

Evening text: maybe 10 min left so will text. (we're about to get more minutes)  winds 2 lite 4 Aries so on tiller all day. ( I think Aries is the name for the wind vane) tired. lat26 13.7N lon145 34.5.
