Endless ocean
Tuesday morning, 7/1/2014, 0700
After reasonable breeze yesterday morning, the winds dwindled and clocked to be behind us. We gave up on sailing, and motored from mid afternoon until about 6 this morning when the wind augmented to 10 -12 kts but now nearly straight behind our course. So, wing and wing with boat speed about 5 kts rather than the 7 we had been doing under engine. I expect the wind to build over the next couple days. Hoping for arrival on 4th of July.
Dinner last night: pasta vongole with white clam sauce. A small bit of leftover cooking wine was parceled out to the crew with daring aliquots of about 2 oz per man. Daring.
