True to the forecast the wind is down to about 20 knots here this morning.
After the morning radio schedule with Rag of the Air we retrieved the
parachute sea anchor and got under way, making better than 5 knots with
about half of the roller furling jib set. Sea is still too rough to allow
us to go any faster comfortably, but everything we need is working well at
the moment, so we'll try to keep it that way. Parachute recovery was easier
than expected, and I have it all packed and stowed, ready to use again if
needed. Would really like to NOT use it again....it's a lot of work to set
and retrieve. We both just had pasta with tuna and Thai chili for
breakfast, so I guess the seasickness is under control as long as K stays
out in the cockpit. Feels much better to be moving again. More later.
