Today is out first day of winter and winter is normally drier than summer and also with clear skies. You should come and visit one day....but it is a long way, thanks for watching, cheers Paul

You did a lot of motoring this time. I could not stop to wonder how much power reserves you have - how far can you go if the wind fails completely? On my 20ft yacht I started out on a electric outboard motor (elderly model), but had only battery capacity for approx one hour, so it was just meant for leaving and entering harbour areas. It soon prooved to be insuficient for situations with loss of wind, so today I use a 4hp Yamaha! Nice roomy tent you have constructed. I only have a canvas to put over the boom - not much room there 🙂 Best regards from Denmark

Hi Bent, yes my electric Torqeedo is about 10 years old. It doesn't have a readout like the newer models, so yes you have no idea how long it will run. I have 2 lead acid batteries which you shouldn't run down below 50%. According to the book at the lowest speed (1 knot) it should run for 10 hrs and the top speed (5 knots) 1 hr. But I do live in fear of running the batteries flat. Thanks again for watching, cheers Paul

poor man. My wife and I sailed the 2018 Marlay Point Over Night Race. Becalmed across Lake Wellington, through the night. Tide took us (with NO steerage) through the McLennan strait, into Lake Victoria. Spent a frustrating morning trying to catch a breeze. Incoming tide took us 200 m's backward. I hate being becalmed. so frustrating.

Nice food and nice views of waters I have ridden via ferry years ago. But I'm surprised at how often you're unexpectedly becalmed. I use fine granularity aviation weather predictions (of every 2 or 3 hours) with some local knowledge, and can usually avoid calm days. Especially watch for airmass convection potential such as lapse rate like a sailplane pilot gathers from weather balloon info; daytime convection should suck the air in one direction or another, or otherwise leave dead air. I am less successful predicting wind direction or precipitation. P.S. Might be interesting comparing likes and dislikes of diverse sail configurations in your group.
