Mr Lin-ux came back to me and reported by that Mr Wind-ow is completely drunk. Stoned so to say. Thus there will be no more wind today. Simply useless.Lesson learned: “Don’t rely on Mr Wind-ow!”

The monkey with the tin tool is full with drugs and nothing can convince him to let more wind flow. Why do people need drugs? Makes them useless!

NO WIND!!!

The ECMWF forecast model indicates more wind starting at 1800 but going up to 20 KN straight from E. This requires a few tacks.

With this wind I’m try to go closer to the entrance of the pass and then make a heave-to. The easterly wind will blow us with about 1 – 1.5 KN to W. Currently I have hope that the island blanks the SE current, which flows with 2 – 3 KN. Then we would drift only with 1 – 1.5 KN. This would be a reasonable distance to tack back to the entrance of the pass.

Clouds are also a problem. I need direct sunshine from behind to go through the pass and search an anchor spot

Let’s see what comes up.
