Motoring Slowly - No Wind

Reporting in at 11 a.m. Sunday. We got underway at about 11 a.m. on Saturday. Wind was hitting us on the nose at 20 knots, so we tacked back and forth until we could clear the island. Then we sailed all afternoon before we lost the wind. We've been motoring for the past 18 hours. Going slowly because we don't want to waste our fuel so early in the game. We're heading southeast in order to catch the wind. I had my day-one-drowsies and slept for the first 15 hours, then I took the watch at 2 a.m. so Mike could sleep until 6 a.m. Beautiful night sky! Lots of shooting stars.
