Oh come with me to the rolling sea

First blog of the day, it would have been earlier but there wasn't much to report and we didn't have any signal. We were motoring in very little wind, not enough to sail, we had the radio on and the sun was out.

Now the sun is still out, the radio is still on, but the breeze has increased to a heady 10 knots (where's a sarc mark when you want one?). Not a great breeze, but enough to sail along at almost 5 knots. There are two other yachts heading toward Portland they are motoring, but we're not. We have spent money on new sails and we're going to use them at any opportunity.



The guys at Crusader have done a great job on them. Our old sails looked alright, but these are so much better, the old ones really were very tired in comparison. Having never bought new sails before, they have changed the way Pixie can sail. With the old sails we'd probably still be motoring.

Anyway, must go, there is some relaxing that needs doing!
