Just off West Palm Beach
Hi all!
We're about 5 miles offshore approaching West Palm Beach.
Today we sailed all day. We did three easterly tacks
to keep us off shore. The wind kept pushing us back
toward shore about 5 degrees of of north.
In the gulf stream we had 4-6 foot waves with a
7 second period out of the north east. winds were
also north east at 15g20
It was a nice sail. We set the sails turned off the
autopilot and put the wheel to 0 and she tracked
straight as an arrow! Man I love this boat.
We are presently single reefed in the main
and the genoa is also reefed. WE are making
about 5 knots under reef for the evening. Earlier
we were making 6-8 knots under full sail
I have to deal with this bilge pump so this is
enough for now
