Monday 17.08.15 1445: just gone off watch, having tidied up after my mother watch duties... Cooking pasta and bacon down below in this windless heat wasn't overly pleasant and am not sure I'll get my sleep now I'm down, but we will see.
We, like everyone else we can see (and hear!) are drifting around in a slightly sloppy sea (the slop means every wave under us makes the sails lose whatever wind they had got in them spill out) with the kite up desperately trying to find some wind... It can come from any direction, we don't mind... Although if it came from behind we'd at least have the advantage of being one of the first to get it!
I can see the kite above me, it looks like it might have some wind in it... Or maybe not.
It's frustrating but it is what it is... We can see land and I'm hoping to be able to download some more grib files to help me understand what the wind might do next but the mobile signal is pretty poor this far offshore so no joy so far.
I didn't think I was tired, we've managed loads of kip each due to the weather so far, but now my head is on the pillow I'm feeling dozey!
Wind dances at home please! Just for us!
