First Night Out

The wind faded through the night, and eventually petered out to nothing around 1:00a. It came back with a vengeance though—enough to have us reconsidering our decision to skip that intermediate shelter stop before Turtle Bay. Now it's morning, we've got two reefs in, and we still hear the occasional hum of the daggerboard when Sally starts to gain enough speed to plane.

We're pretty much by ourselves out here, surprisingly. Our new course is taking us back near shore.  Maybe that's where the rest of the fleet is sailing.
