A slow start

Day 2 of the return trip.


If we were to sum up the first 24 hours in two words, those words would be “light” and “rainy”. We have yet to see the sun since leaving Montevideo, but at least the drizzle stops periodically. The phosphorescence is also keeping us company -  in the dark of the night, the still sea looks like a black curtain strewn with glitter, and a bright green wake flickers behind us.


It has also been upwind all of the way so far. Our track on the chart- plotter resembles an EGC, which will hopefully start flat-lining soon.


We are all still enjoying each others’ company. Ric and Bren were planning on sneaking in a bunch of Argentinean girls back, but there wasn’t enough space in the laserette. So we left them behind.


All of our preparations seem to be paying off. We have had no issues so far. The boat is dry inside, we are properly fed, everything on the boat is working and working well at that.
