2013 miles to go

We are getting used to being on the boat and underway 24/7.  The seas have calmed down and the weather is warming up.  It hardly feels like we are underway  Today was laundry day. Now that the generator is working, we can use the washing machine (on a boat?).  It works great, I washed all my shirts.  We hang the clothes to dry on the lifelines with clothes pins.
I was bummed because I wasn’t getting any emails from Jackie, so I called her on the satellite phone.  It turns out that all my emails (kq6np@winlink.org) were going to hotmail’s spam folder  (Greg, can you forward this to Jackie (sailmakai@hotmail.com), in case it gets in the spam folder again ?)  It was great to hear everyone’s voices.
The grib files show more wind starting tomorrow, potentially 20-25, so we will really make some progress.  This boat really moves in that kind of wind.  The motion on a multihull is different from a monohull.  I have been very fortunate that I haven’t been seasick on this trip, I think is a combination of the different motion on the catamaran, and the fact that I’ve gotten older, and I think my balance has gotten worse, so I’m not as sensitive as I used to be.

Tonight’s movie was Animal House, in honor of Rodney and Jamie being in fraternities in colleges.  We also watched some great movies taken by Irving Johnson.  He was on the Peking, that last of the great commercial sailing ships that went around the horn in 1929. The ship was in the nitrate trade between Hamburg and Chile.   The footage was fantastic.

I mention the movie in the evening because back when Jackie and I were cruising Mexico, we left Puerto Vallerta for La Paz one evening with Capricorn Cat.  We were all battened down and left at the same time as they did. We were heeling over, not doing anything except holding on.  Later that evening we called Capricorn Cat, they were just making popcorn and getting ready to watch a movie.  Jackie and I looked at each other.
