May 6, 2009 - 99 Miles - At Sea

It was a long boring day as most are these days. The good thing was that the sailing was excellent. We are due for a tack tonight but the seas are flat with a nice 15 KN wind from the ESE. It's an ideal sailing day except for the wind direction. But we'll get to Provo tomorrow morning regardless.

My port bow light burned out early last night so we sailed with a hard watch, as we do anyway. I just wasn't sure what to do if we came across another vessel. The lights are key to sharing your direction. Unfortunately, my only spare bulb is defective. I can see the tiny break in the filament. So we'll have to sail without proper lights tonight again. We haven’t seen a vessel all day so hopefully it will stay that way.
