I feel like Garrison Keillor, not in the reputationally-disgraced way, but in the Prairie Home Companion way…”It was a quiet week in Lake Wobegon…”
Lynn reports the moon, the stars, the delightful warm weather, the easy reaching…a quiet day on passage is just fine.
Right now the waves, about 9 feet on average, are still coming from NZ, where they want to go, which isn’t perfect but that changes in the next 24 hours to on the beam to their course again and seems to hold. Its the sea, we shall ‘see’. And besides, in the ocean a 9’ wave is not the nasty choppers we get on Lake Ontario, they are swells, with smaller waves on top.
She is approximately 525nm off her starting point so about half way now. How many days left? 4-5-6-7?
A pressure centre will pass over NZ in the next 24 hours which will bring them more 20+ knot reaching on waves in the aft quarter - sleigh ride time.
And accordingly, “Well, that’s the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.”
