Since we hoisted sails just outside of America Samoa we have pretty constant winds of 4 Bft venturing often into 5 Bft range. Directions E to ESE veering shortly into SE. The averaged SOG is 6 KN or pretty close to 6 KN.<\/p>\n
The SE winds are a disaster because they blow us to the W and we would need to tack, if this continues. With ESE we loose only a little bit to W. Everything more E is fine. The best are the winds blowing from E. The very best works blow from ENE.<\/p>\n
With winds from E, we can use the same wind vane angle and get back towards the planned route to a WPT NW of Vava’u. We actually could continue to the E of the planned route but here comes magic in. Whenever we are as close as about 0.5 NM to the W of our planned route, the wind veers to ESE and a bit further towards S and blows us again towards the W<\/p>\n
Right now the wind veered towards E since a while and we are as close as 0.70 NM to the W of the planned route with the trend that this XTE is declining further. As we approach the route in a very acute angle, it will take more then 5 NM until we cross the planned route line.<\/p>\n
Will this little magic continue?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
