Garr! 3 days of riding out gales at anchor. For the last one, the wind veered unexpectedly and left us on a lee shore. The picture just doesn't describe it (land immediately behind me with surf sounds and wind in trees all day) .
I was hoping to get in some gaming, but neither of us felt much like it with the boat jumping.
The weather has improved and we're off again tomorrow.
At least you did not need to do any club hauling to get off the lee shore Captain. I look forward to your next log entry.
Bligh.
The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Today we moved a bit farther south. I believe that picture is before the small craft advisory arrived 3 hours early. We finished the day with the 2nd reef in the main and the first in the jib.

Engines are great when they work, but when they fail !
