Voyage 2010: Chapter 2

NOAA is calling for a week beginning with winds in the 20-25 kt range and seas of 10-12 ft. Near the end of the week, winds will be light but the seas will stay near 10 ft. Not the best weather and we are nervous about the seas but that too will pass. Today we prepared the boat for heavy seas and developed a new watch schedule.

The 'girls' washed their hair on the poop deck. Bob suggest that they get the soap off the teak. They were not kind. We made water today to replenish the tanks as today is a motoring day and we have the power to make water. Tonight we continued our star gazing. Bob is providing invaluable discussions on the stars and constellations. Tonight's program focused on the Pleiades. Weather should be here tomorrow at 1300 ET. Should get pretty rolly by 0100 on Tuesday and stay rolly through Friday. Oh boy!
