A Tropical wave rolled threw today. A Tropical wave is like an embryonic hurricane. A tropical wave can easily graduate to a tropical storm before becoming a hurricane. This was my most exciting day on Namaste to date. The seas built to 12, with an occasional 15 rolling through, and the wind was blowing 30-35. I had to attach my harness to the jack-line, and venture to the foredeck to douse the stay-sail. Waves were crashing over me, and I was smiling from ear to ear. It didn’t last long, but I found the experience exhilarating. I haven’t heard from Julio in a few days and I’m a bit worried about them. Despite the auto-pilot & engine problems, I’m really enjoying this passage.
