Ready for Leg Two

Today we set sail for the second leg to Bahia Santa Maria, about 240 miles. Weather is expected to be much lighter from now on. If seas are flat and the wind is moderate, we'll make excellent time. If there's no wind only the three powerboats will move, and if the seas are lumpy we'll be stuck mid-pack.

This morning will be spent putting the boat back in sailing trim: deflating and stowing the dinghy, putting the boom back on, lashing down the beanbags, etc. It's been a great few days here in Turtle Bay but I think we're all rested and ready for some more sailing.
