I’ve been a sea 5 days and I’ve only made 266 miles. I guess I’ll shoot for stopping at the Ahi atoll in the Tuamotos, still 266 miles away.
The little wind I had shifted to the ENE around 2am. It blew around 5 knots for a short while and is back down to nothing. I need around 3 knots to keep the drifter inflated. The wind shift really discombobulated everything. I had the drifter poled out with a top and bottom. I also had canvas covering the area where the main sheet travels. After rigging everything again 40 minutes passed, then the wind shifted again and I took everything down once again. I decided to run the motor until the wind made up its mind. The motor is still running 4 hours later but I’m going to kill it soon.
Not much else to report, the sea is beautiful.
I hope for a fish today.
