***Life on board***
Today has been a day of motoring. With the wind down to almost nothing. We have been motoring since about 6pm last night. While it is good to still be making progress, we keep our eyes out for any wind and will sail as soon as possible. The engine makes it hot and noisy down below and of course it burns fuel.
One benefit of running the engine is that we have more power than we know what to do with. Everything gets charged and we have been enjoying a tripple matinee ("Oceans 12" followed by "The Waterboy" and now "Cool Hand Luke") movie segment in the cockpit on Will's computer with shade tarps strung up all over to keep out the sun.
***Weather***
Very light wind. Direction, hard to say. 1-2 foot long swells. Very clear water.
