Note to self: check and recheck the electronics well before leaving. The Gain inReach mapnis not showing the track.

Dana cooked a wonderful porkchop with butternut squash dinner for us. He is now taking his first mini watch. Wayne is pretty tired and taking a nap I'm chilling for the first time today. Wayne and I have beem sailing the boat making our own decisions and acting on them.

Starting to get dark.

Dana just told me he's feeling guilty because he's not doing anything. ;)

Lost all wind. Doused the spinnaker and started the starboard engine.

A whale just surfaced near the boat!

Shut the engine down ...

Flying the spinnaker ...

We just passed Tabasco

Tabasco sighted ... planning to run the spinnaker ...

Tabasco is not visible on the chartplotter ir MarineTraffic. Jets flying overhead. Wayne thinks ge saw dolphins. We just shut down the starboard engine.

Now all we see is part of her sail.

The weather suddenly changed and it got dramatically warmer. Coats and gloves off. Tabasco is barely visible on the horizon. I saw a couple of Osprey rotary aircraft fly by a while ago.

We put the sail up and rigged a preventer just as the wind died. Tabasco is already ahead. I cranked the sail up by hand so I wiuld oniw what it felt like. Dana also let me work thr traveler and mainsheet. We sailed past a warship as it was being pushed into dock. We also got passed bu another huge container ship. The app stopped tracking.

Underway ... noth boats!

Wayne's AIS beacon is not showing up on the chart plotter and I'm not sure why.

Up half an hour later than intended but I needed the sleep. Tired. It's quite cold and cloudy outside but it looks like the rain has stopped.
