We tacked. Yes, I know -- too early, according to
the 'rules of tactiks'. But seems, there is no rules there...
At this point -- the reasons
were :
-- We do not want to go further then
Minorca;
-- I'm betting that the wind will follow the
models, and go Northerly...
-- If the plan fails -- we will be closer to
Mallorca
There are 2 good things --
1. we managed to tack. All crew -- the boat
and myself -- are on board,
2. the pressure started to rise
All the rest -- the speed, direction, etc, etc.. --
is a complete mess. No point even to mention.
We need the shift in the wind!!!!
That is all for now. everything is under
control,
Talk to you sonn!
