All systems go for this evenings passage.
We hope the winds kick up a little bit more.
The crew is happy in anticipation of a nice ride. They have directions if the winds fall below 5knots they can motor, normally something i don't like to do cuz I'm cheap! Or frugal as I prefer.
Today we got last minute provisions, fixed a broken running light, put the dinghy on deck so it does not whip up when we hit 20k winds which could happen further out. We also wrote a float plan: for those sailing nerds that want to see it I'll include it at the bottom of this blog.
I have emailed, talked, did accounting, VP my staff, chatted, and mentally prepared myself to be tired at the first leg since Ben will take the first 4 hours. 10p-2a. I like 2-6a.
