Yesterday we sailed all day on the same "side", it's a lot easier to sleep when the boat heels only on one side, while with a tail wind, the boat heels on both sides and you never know when you'll be slammed into a wall. During the night, while I was on watch, the win almost died so we had to start the engine. It's good for the batteries. This morning the sea is calm and we have wind of not even 8 knots so we're motoring. I allows us to clean the dishes and we'll cook burgers for lunch, since the boat moves less (it's still relative). We have another boat near us, it's good to see something around when we're in the middle of nowhere. Later I'll get the fishing rod out...
