I’m not yet decided about the verb I should to describe what we are doing.

Although we put her favorite dress, the colorful, light, a bit transparent, sexy, and showing female soft round curves on MaRe, she is not in the mood yet to sail.

She is not standing still but moving. Would “creeping” or “crawling” be the right term for her movement?

The problem is that ECMWF and SPIRE the best forecast models for wind at high seas, predict winds of 5 later even more knots from SE. But, and this is the culprit, the bl…. monkey with the tin tool does not release more wind. This holding back of wind is done on purpose in an attempt to destroy the mood on all sailboats within his range.

But on MaRe we have a good mood and know that always some wind sneaks out of control of the monkey with the tin tool and helps us reaching the edge of the SE trade winds.

These in turn will blow us to W and later SW to the Gambier Islands.

When do you guess is the day and time that we reach 06 deg 0.0 min south, the current northern edge of the trade winds?
