🎼I said 🎶no🎵no🎶no

I should have gybed… could have, should have …

When I looked at the chart and watching the wind shift and we were all of a sudden heading more west than south west, I should have gybed! But I thought “we are still going west and that’s not bad”. The next few hours were frustrating to say the least! Wind became super light, it swirled around and us with it. We started pointing to Hawaii then further north. At one point it looked like we were going to back to Canada! I said No!no!no! 🎶🎵🎶 so I swirled and swirled with Sarantium for a couple of hours. For those who may be tracking … you might think I opened the Rum early! The wind eventually filled in and pointed us to Hawaii again! But not for long as wind continued to be up and down. At one point a flying fish flew into the cockpit, bounced off me, and back into the water! Another couple of hours, of trying point the boat in the general direction of where we were going, went on. But unfortunately we just didn’t have enough wind. I backwinded the sail and offset the rudder (heave-to) and fell asleep. Sometimes you just got to cut your loses. Tomorrow is a new day❤️
