With 1385 miles done and with 1300 rhum-line miles to go, we figured we were about half way – and is the custom aboard Toodle-oo! (and many other sailboats), we enjoyed cocktails in the cockpit at sunset on our 9th day at sea!

All well aboard – though we’ve been rock and rolling on a downwind sail for too long now.We’re both tired and crabby! We did screw up the sail for a while with a failed attempt to fly the spinnaker, in order to reduce the amount of rolling we were experiencing – but fortunately, the wind dropped and changed direction just enough to allow us to fly a poled out genoa and reefed main instead – and get a comfortable ride finally… We’re now headed due east with the wind across the beam! 🙂

Cheers!
