Standing by to stand by

No Wind. lots of waves. no fun. So Since last night there has been absolutely no wind. We went North and sailed right into a nice big hole, had we stayed South we could have had a nice lane to the Azores which is where I´ve been trying to get people to agree to go anyway so it would have been a double win. But hindsight is 20-20. Anyway, we´re having a blast, the boat is just bobbing around back and forth, forth and back, forward and backward, left to starboard, port to right, all over the place in no particular order. Sleeping in your bed is pretty impossible because every time you start to fall asleep you wake up mid air getting tossed into the canvas that´s keeping you from getting tossed onto the floor. maneuvering the kitchen is also a challenge, Cameron managed to spill salt all over the floor and burn our skipper with hot water all in the 10 minutes between waking up and going on watch at 7 am. We only have our stay sail and mizzen sail up right now because everything else just flogs about. I´m looking at the gauges right now: Boat speed:0.0 Speed over ground: 0.5 VMG to waypoint: -1.2 This could take us a little while to get to England...We are on watch for another 2 and a half hours then the plan is to post up in the salon, watch some movies, play some cards, and eat chips and milkyway bars until the wind comes back. Then tonight, if we can manage, Cameron and I are making burgers, dogs and coleslaw in good American fashion. Happy 4th of July from a very bored boat!
