We had to put the 2nd reef in the main and take in the Genny completely, which was very difficult to do. The mizzen sail is no longer in play since it was ripped to shreds by the wind. Fortunately, we don't need the mizzen. With all that done, the boat is once again manageable. The rain has ...

Spent my off time reading Conquest by Juliet Barker and sleeping. We motored north all night and this morning trying to find some wind. Finally we ran into some wind from the southwest. This allowed us to turn the engine off and sail on a broad reach on course 95* magnetic. Accounting for variance of...
