Well, it's a good thing we have GPS - because on days like this, that's the only way of knowing that we've moved. Nasdaq actually made some decent mileage, all of it through a featureless grey waterscape. Without a horizon, the dark grey sea blended into a mid grey sky, with an unrelenting grey drizzle throughout, and nobody else on AIS or radar. Luckily, we had Pam Truman and Kathi Lind-Mottram laughing, singing and cooking in the Nasdaq Bistro to brighten our day.
Our southerly wind slowly veered westerly and eased overnight, leaving the spinnaker hanging limply and asking to be replaced by the windseeker. Nasdaq is now in a very confused (and confusing - have you seen the forecast charts?) weather front, just trying to make some ground towards the finish with whatever wind comes our way, and hoping that the rest of the fleet is doing something similar.
I wonder if we'll see the sun today?
Cheers, Rob
