Motor sailing

24 March 2016

As expected the wind started to shift slowly. We shift with the wind and we are now going in the right direction, but the wind has not shifted enough to call it (motor)sailing. The sails are swinging in the middle and give good resistance against the waves. If we go like this we will be between Jamaica and Honduras in two days and from there we will be able to sail. The forecast still says the wind will shift further so with a bit of luck we will be able to switch the engine of earlier. Anyway it’s not bad sailing here, it is the middle of the night and we are on deck in our shorts and t-shirt.
